Taken by yours truly.
Background to the race:
The Toyota 1000 Desert Race is the premier off-road racing event held in Southern Africa. The race takes place in Botswana and a different course is laid out each year.
It started in Botswana in 1975 and then moved to South Africa in 1981.
The motorsport race moved back to Botswana in 1991, where it all started.
The world's best off-road racers who also compete in Dakar-Paris races, compete here.
The are different types of cars competing: Sandmasters (which kinda look like a cockroach), vans, bikes (i think)
I took the vids at Spectator point 19.
There was a bend in the track which forced cars to slow down.. great for me with my slow camera..
coz i managed to get some good vids and pics (soon to be posted.)
It was a fun day out for kids and family.
Though the sun was out, it is the middle of winter, and it is very cold evidenced by spectators in warm clothing.
here are the links to the vids:
