ADENCO 400 OFFROAD RACE
The 2010 Absa Off Road Championship starts off with the first event of the season, the Adenco 400, in Darling on the West Coast on March 20 and 21.
Adenco 400 chief organiser Bill Bright said that the finishing touches were being put to a route that would again provide Special and Production Vehicle category competitors with a stern test. The route is likely to incorporate some new sections not used before and will be a tough one.
The Adenco 400 gets underway with the Prologue at 13h00 on Friday with the main event starting at 08h00 on Saturday 21 March.
As always the CPMCC has paid particular attention to making the route as spectator-friendly as possible and fans will have many opportunities to see the spectacular Production and Special Vehicles in action on each lap.
