Edit....
Due to not reaching the numbers required, it is with great regret that we have to cancel the final qualifier in Patensie. We also have no time left to set another qualifier in the various provinces due to the advanced stage of planning for the main event.
However, you may still enter by doing the following:
Please forward a race CV, footage, motivational letter and / or a list of competitive off-road events you have completed. Based on the contents thereof exemption will be granted, and allow you to enter the Amageza Rally 2012. This information will only be seen by management, and the contents thereof will be kept confidential.

In this eventuality, they must both wait for the recovery vehicle to recover the rider, before he can continue.

* 3 x Energy Bars.
* GPS with space for at least 500 points per track.

* Any decisions regarding penalties or disqualification of a rider is final, and will be enforced once the GPS track of the rider is reviewed.
* This is not a race, it’s a navigation, skill and endurance challenge. The time limits are imposed for safety aspects. It is not possible to cover 300km of track by marshals, thus the requirement to keep the riders grouped, and hence the time-limits.
