As the last event of the 2025 South African National Rally Championship (NRC), this high-adrenaline showdown promises two days of fierce competition, rugged terrain, and unforgettable motorsport action.

Key partners and supporters

Delivering a world-class rally requires teamwork, and TRAC – alongside NRC’s annual partners – has once again pulled out all the stops. The 2025 TRACN4 Rally is made possible through the commitment of partners, including:

The rally will run through the challenging, privately managed SAFCOL and S&N Boerdery plantations, with their narrow, technical routes and fast-changing surfaces. Friday’s action kicks off at the Lakenvlei Heritage Site, while Saturday’s stages will begin from The Oval in Dullstroom, maintaining the event’s tradition of spectacular rally starts at iconic Mpumalanga venues.

Several additional sponsors have also joined this year’s finale, helping ensure an unforgettable event.

Rallying for a cause

The TRACN4 Rally is more than motorsport – it is community. Since 2020, the rally has raised funds for the Dullstroom Epilepsy Centre, Epilepsy SA’s Mpumalanga hub. TRAC’s support has enabled vital upgrades and renovations to the centre’s facilities, strengthening services for individuals and families living with epilepsy.

The final showdown

As the oldest consecutive championship in South African motorsport, the NRC has once again delivered a thrilling season – and the TRACN4 Rally will decide it all. With approximately 180km of challenging stages across two days, teams will be tested on speed, precision, and endurance like never before.

As excitement builds, fans can get ready for multiple designated spectator points, strategically selected to give the best views of the action. Full details of spectator zones will be shared closer to the event via TRAC’s and the NRC’s social media channels and in the official rally programme, released on the Sportity App the week of the rally.
