Episode 294 Wrangell Gubler: “ Goals Are Set, But This One Remains the Ultimate”

Wrangell Gubler burst onto the three-wheeler scene by winning the Vegas to Reno race on a Honda ATC 350X, completing the event solo—an achievement previously thought impossible.

In 2023, Wrangell was invited to join a team for the Norra, a staged rally race in Baja California, Mexico, resembling a traditional rally.

Following the event, Wrangell and his new friend Julian Hoefert decided to compete in the 2024 Norra on a hybrid YZ 450F three-wheeler that Wrangell built for himself. This machine, along with others, is featured on the ATV-TALK motorsports podcast on YouTube.

A year of preparation went into not only building the race three-wheeler but also a chase vehicle. The TRI 450F had been tested in several desert races leading up to this event.

The rally began with a flurry of final preparations, and with time running out, exhaustion became an early challenge for team leader Wrangell. He took all the responsibility on himself, but unfortunately, a minor mechanical issue ended their race on Day 3. Despite this setback, Wrangell declared, "This is the greatest event ever—I’ll be back!"
