A woman whose Finke Desert Race dream ended in a spectacular crash on day one says the accident has not put her off racing in future events.

Navigator Keioni Lander has spoken about the crash that happened alongside her father Shannon "Wildman" Lander, saying she did not have time to be scared. 

She said their trophy truck had handled well around the 8-kilometre prologue track and placed them in 36th position.

"We thought it was going to be good," she said.

But at a jump at the 30km mark their race became unstuck when they hit a sandhill too fast.

"Our fuel tank is right at the back of the car and it was a full," Ms Lander said.

Ms Lander said it had been hard to tell from the inside of the car how many times she and her father rolled.

She held on to her seatbelt as the car was flipping.

"I wasn't really flopping around too much. I think my legs are getting thrown around a bit," she said.

"It kind of went blank for me. Not fully blank. I knew it was happening.

Once the car came to a stop, Ms Lander was concerned for her father.

"And once he responded I was just relieved."

Ms Lander said her father climbed out, followed by herself.

"Everyone was helping, but I originally got really dizzy once I got up," she said.

"So I sat down and a lot of people rushed over asking me if I needed anything."

She said that she was in shock.

Ms Lander said her mother, Mischa Cartwright, was the first person she called after the accident.

"I knew that if she saw [the footage] she would be stressing out because she's up in Darwin," Ms Lander said.

Ms Lander said she was proud of her father for all the hard work that went into getting themselves and their vehicle ready for this year's Finke Desert Race, and that the accident had not put either of them off racing in future Finkes.

"We're going to hopefully rebuild that car," she said.
