In the end it was enough for a new course record. With a time of 2 days 12 hours and 20 minutes the sensation is perfect. The four cracks from Team Vorarlberg have beaten the previous course record by 1 hour and 17 minutes.

Jürgen Schatzmann - team leader: "It was a very special challenge for everyone. Especially the logistics of such a race are enormous. It requires a meticulous organization in advance as well as a perfectly organized team of navigators, mechanics, physiotherapists and other helpers during the race. Without them, such a race would not be possible. Of course, the special conditions such as sleep deprivation, a non-stop operation over days and weather conditions are added. It was a brilliant experience with many challenges that were overcome together. That's why this course record is a special victory for everyone! "

Maximilian Kuen: "Everything went right all around and it was optimal conditions. A big thanks also goes to the support staff in the background, who looked after us perfectly all round. Only in this way has this course record become possible at all."

Nikolas Riegler: "At the beginning of the race we simply looked at the planned driver change technique and quickly got into a good mode. Everything just fit and was a lot of fun with the motivated colleagues."
