AnglomOil SXS race team driver Nathan Chivers, the winner of the Finke Desert Race in 2017, has been invited by Can Am to represent them at a major race in the outback of China.
Nathan will drive a new Can Am Maverick X3 provided by the race organisers.
The event is a Can Am v Polaris showdown on a purpose built track in the middle of a sandy desert with dunes as high as skyscrapers. Nathan said he was shocked and happy to be chosen.
He’ll have to rush back because he is due to race at the opening round of the national Off Road Racing championship one day after his pane lands. He has to fly to Melbourne, from there to Toowoomba, then drive for four hours out to St. George where the race will take place. He’ll be met there by his AnglomOil team mates, co-driver Scott O’Connor, father Les in the second X3 SXS and his notes man, Peter Harris.
