Redline Motor Club of Windhoek will be hosting its Shell V-Power Rally in and around the capital over two days on Friday 20 and Saturday 21 October.

Teams will tackle 108 kilometres and twelve Special Stages.

A mouth-watering competition awaits Windhoek motorsport enthusiasts, who last saw the country’s best drivers in action locally with the M Z Motors Tara Rally in June.

On Friday afternoon, four Special Stages (SS) are ridden. The first action will make petrol heads light-headed on Friday afternoon (18:23) at the Tony Rust racetrack with a Super Special Stage.

The teams then leave for SS2 (19:08) which ends behind Cimbebasia and Prosperita. SS3 (19:58) and SS4 (20:23) are completed near Elisenheim.

SS 5 starts at Elisenheim Spar at 11:08 on Saturday morning and the competition finishes at Redline Motor Club in the Northern Industrial Area at 15:59 after the last Special Stage.
