1/10th Off Road in South Africa

[Nolan BJ4WE]

RC cars is huge in South Africa too. I used to race in the republic. Could Oople perhaps stick something in the Inernational section on racing in South Africa?

Their version of the BRCA below:

If it is in Pretoria, it might be at Zwartkops Model Raceway -
track below....


This track is next to a 'real' touring car track, and has the most space to hold a World's. Unless they have it somewhere nuteral and create a new track??

[jimmy]

ok the last worlds was in Pretoria also apparently- so possibly the same venue as last time?

[niggs98]

raywoods did a video on that one in 03 and it was inside a huge hanger with a purpose built dirt track

[niggs98]

It was in 2001:

2WD: Matt Francis from USA
&
4WD: Jukka Steenari from Finland

Looking at going to the worlds in SA ...... the track used last time is about 35 mins drive from my girlfriend's father's stables / ranch. Would make accomodation cheap!

Pretoria is my home town so I might go back for the worlds too
