Sun City 400 this weekend

The Sun City 400, the 5th round of the Absa Off Road Championship takes place this weekend at the Pilanesberg.

Toyota Motorsport manager, William Hadda had this to say of the event:

“The Sun City 400 is never an easy race”It is tough on the crews and the vehicles but recent results have lifted the confidence of the entire team. We also have a slight lead in the manufacturer’s championship so there is plenty of incentive for the factory crews and privateers to do well.”  read more »
