Dream of Dakar

Glenn & the team defend their title at the Australasian Safari, Australia’s equivalent to Dakar. Feeling the pressure of being only 3 months away from heading overseas, the team have their worst start in years. Jake (GHR’s Dakar hope) crashes, sustaining injuries that threaten Glenn’s dream

Having never travelled overseas before, the team travel to Buenos Aires, which is the starting city of the Dakar Rally.

Glenn’s dream comes to fruition as the team crosses the historic podium into the biggest race of their lives. Their inexperience is exposed when they receive speeding fines, time penalties and struggle with fatigue. Being the sole survivor of the four that started, the pressure and weight of the team’s ambitions now rest firmly on Jake’s shoulders to complete the race.

Having navigated their way through the deserts of Argentina, across the border and over the Andes into the North of Chile, Glenn ends up on the official race track, bogged and almost run over by the race trucks. Jake receives a three hour penalty for Glenn’s efforts and makes a catastrophic error in the final stage but miraculously reaches the finish, fulfilling the Dream of Dakar.
