This event continues to grow in popularity, drawing spectatorship from neighbouring countries and abroad. For the past three years, the event has been included as one of the feeder races to the Dakar Rally - one of the four events in the world to gain that status. This is the biggest off-road race in Africa, with a following of over 120,000 spectators. It is a family event which starts off at 8:00 in the morning. Elders, families and motor sport enthusiasts brave the cold winter mornings to reach the start off point and witness the epic and electrifying start. Â
