The TRACN4 Rally, which is the flagship of the South African National Rally Championship, is set to wow motorsport enthusiasts once again on November 17 and 18 in Dullstroom.

This is the fourth consecutive year that this motorsport event, which boasts a strong local flavour for teams and spectators, is being held in the eMakhazeni region, renowned for its touristic vibe and deep-rooted culture.

Aptly themed ‘Going All Out’, TRACN4’s spokesperson, Solange Soares, said in a press statement, that there is no doubt that this year’s rally will deliver in terms of skillful driving, challenging terrain and nail-biting competition.

“The eMakhazeni leg will be made up of approximately 14 action-packed stages, most of which will be held in the gruelling forests that envelop Dullstroom. Besides fast cars, daredevil drivers, sharp navigators and dedicated service crews, the TRACN4 Rally is about uplifting the community socially and economically, and supporting mainly the Dullstroom Epilepsy Centre, which has been the event’s beneficiary since 2020. The town also benefits from the TRAC E-Learning project and other smaller corporate social investment interventions as part of the bigger eMakhazeni region.”

Soares said according to local community and business forum members, the rally has become an annual highlight for the region, especially for Dullstroom and Belfast, which largely rely on tourism for their livelihood.

“The event brings hundreds of people to the area, for a minimum of three days, and plays a significant role in temporary job creation. The rally organisers are still putting the final touches of the event in place and it will be made up of approximately seven stages for each day totalling an approximate 170km of racing over the two-day event.”

She said spectators are also in for a treat as they can watch their favourite teams from specially set-up spectator points or via the SA Rallying social media pages and Race Day TV.
