Polaris Outlaw Stands Strong Internationally
Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 30, 2008- The
Polaris Outlaw continues to celebrate successes
internationally adding a Dutch Championship and
taking all three podium spots in the Pharaons
Rally in Egypt.
JEEGEE - Polaris Benelux is extremely proud
to announce the victory of the Dutch
Championship by Ramon van Mil. Racing the Outlaw
450 MXR, Ramon secured the Championship in the
international class by winning the last four
races.
“Defeating the previous five-time champion
was our goal from the start of the season but
almost became a mission impossible after some
early season mistakes in setting up the ATV
properly” said Ramon. “After the right
adjustments, the speed, handling and reliability
of the Polaris Outlaw 450 MXR were unmatched.
In the Rallye Raid’s Pharaons Rally in Egypt,
racer Hubert Deltrieu of France took first with
fellow Frenchman, Jean Claude-Auert and Brice
Auert finishing second and third. The Outlaw has
had impressive success in the Rallye Raid with
Deltrieu taking first at the Romania-Hungarian
Dakar race (six Outlaws finished in Top 11),
first at the Desert Lybia Challenge, with the
Outlaw taking all three podium spots, and second
at the Portugal Dakar race. Polaris Racers,
Kraft and Castel also took first in the Rallye
des Gazelles.
