Can-Am Commander makes historic finish in Morocco

BRP's Can-Am Commander side-by-side, driven by Francisco Lopez and co-pilot Claudio Troncoso, won the Morocco Rally in the UTV category after covering 2,000 kilometers of challenging African terrains. The duo made international headlines last week at the race by becoming the only side-by-side competitor to complete the six stages of the 2011 edition, in addition to placing 21st within the car category.

"BRP's Can-Am Commander side-by-side reflects our DNA in its purest tradition," said Chris Dawson, BRP vice-president and general manager, International division. "This very unique side-by-side has been designed to bring a new level of power, cutting-edge design and meaningful innovations. To finish first in its category in its first test -- the only side-by-side to complete the race -- certainly delivers on our promise.”
