The second race will be the Sugarbelt 400 in Eston in KwaZulu-Natal on May 12 and 13. Following will be the TGRSA 1000 Desert Race in Botswana and Jwaneng. The dates are June 23 to 25.

The fourth and fifth rounds will be held in Parys in the Free State on August 18 and 19. Welkom, also in the Free State, will, for the first time, welcome competitors for round six on October 6 and 7. The final event of the series will be run on November 10 and 11. A venue is still to be decided on.

So, if you love excitement and adrenalin-generating sport, diarise these dates.
