“We had a fantastic time on the Cape 1000, we weren’t quite sure what to expect in terms of doing a rally in South Africa but we were amazed by the variety of scenery and quality of the roads, people were really friendly. The balance of the rally was spot on! We urge people outside of Africa to register and enjoy the rally for themselves.”
