About
Since Adventure 1 launched its first National Series in 2017, we have crowned several National Adventure Racing Champions in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa after hosting more than 50 races internationally.
In 2022 A1 expands to include more countries under its national series' expansion model and a new A1 World Cup, World Cup final, and World Championships... and yes there will be annual National and World rankings.
Who will take out the inaugural A1 World Cup Final in 2022!
For now, check out our previous A1 National Adventure Racing Champions.

Rogue Adventure’s national title moves them one step up on the podium from their second-place ranking in the two previous years. As a new national champion, it also makes it the fourth time that a different team has won the Australian title, reflecting the depth of adventure racing talent in the country. Second place in the series was taken out by the Gold Coast Tigers, their first time on the national series podium. This result reflects their consistency as the only team to race all A1 races in 2021. Third place goes to team Thought Sports despite the team only making it to two of the three possible races which is indicative of their world-class strength. Fourth and fifth places go to teams Thunderbolt and Avengers respectively, both of whom have previously held the title of national champions.
