Chasing them will be teams representing Kenya, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Zambia and Morocco. The teams will start arriving in Zimbabwe from Thursday to settle in before Friday’s first practice sessions.

The event will be televised, with post-production being put together by the 2 Wheels TV crew from South Africa, who will post the programme onto DStv Ignition Channel 189, as well as on YouTube.
