Jean Azevedo, an accomplished rally racer in Motorcycles and Cars in Brazil and Dakar over the last three decades, has ventured into the UTV Class this year through a partnership with the Torres family and the support of Polaris Factory Racing Brazil. The team was developed in collaboration with Polaris Brazil to showcase the competitiveness and durability of the Pro R in endurance rally racing.With its steel belted construction and race-proven design, the Trail Blade X/T SXS was an obvious choice for this machine and type of racing.
“Atturo Tires surprised us in the tests and during the Jalapão Rally, in which we had an incredible performance,” Says Jean Azevedo, Driver – Polaris Factory Racing. “The products are very resistant, with qualities that are essential to overcome all the demands of the Sertões Rally. We are very happy to have this partnership.”
