Casey Currie eats, drinks and breathes motor racing and in particular rally-raid. Coming from a family of off-road enthusiasts, he climbed on to his first motorbike when he was five and competed in his first pick-up race at 16. Since then, he has criss-crossed the United States, built all sorts of machines and has become a big fan of the UTV…and the Dakar! His maiden appearance ended in frustration. Clearly over confident compared to the magnitude of the challenge, he had to settle for fourth place, which this gearhead considers a failure. The chemistry between the American and his Spanish co-driver Rafael Tornabell didn’t take with everyday becoming a communication nightmare. The far too many navigation errors led Currie to team up with Dakar regular, South African Sean Berriman, who also happens to live in Las Vegas. The tie-up between the two has been a natural fit. They won in their first outing together on the Morocco Rally. Now all that remains is to finish on the Dakar podium in their new CanAm.
