KTM Australia charged renowned sports producer, Michael Heaton, with the job of creating a tell all documentary that not only tells the story of KTM’s journey in winning the 2012 event, but also capturing the mystique and allure that keeps competitors coming back again and again.

KTM Australia’s general manager, Jeff Leisk is looking forward to the program airing.

“We’re extremely proud that we were able to get this documentary to air on ONE which is free for all to watch,” said Leisk. “It’s not only a win for KTM, our sponsors and our fans but it is also a big win for the Finke Desert Race and the Australian motorcycle industry”.

“In my opinion the Finke Desert Race is one of the toughest and most unique races in the world,” Leisk added. “The speed, intensity and distance of the race combined with the harshness of the terrain makes for a very exciting event. For man and machine to even finish the race is an achievement, let alone win it outright.”

The documentary follows the HSE Motorex KTM Desert Racing Team and features amazing footage of the athletes taking on the Finke track and pushing their motorcycles to the limits.

Eventual winner and KTM team rider, Toby Price is excited about the announcement.

“To see our sport make it onto television is unreal,” said Price. “The Finke Desert Race is my favourite on the calendar and I can’t wait for the general public to watch us do our thing out there in the centre of Australia.”
