Six episodes seems like a nice conclusion to a saga. Just look at Star Wars.

Polaris got the memo too. The sixth and final episode of Tough Doesn’t Quit: Defending Dakar focuses on the second half of the 2025 Dakar Rally, following Brock Heger and Xavier de Soultrait as it has all series.

Despite being a Dakar newcomer, Heger had been holding onto the SSV category’s overall lead since Stage #4. Soultrait’s hopes of repeating took a blow on the ninth stage before he encountered an oil leak and damage in Stage #11 that ended his chances of a high finish for good.

While the Can-Am Maverick R collected stage win after stage win, Heger cruised to the overall victory. In the video, navigator Max Eddy Jr. described it as a “dream come true.”
