Cape National Rally chopped!

The NRC Steering Committee would like to extend its heartfelt thanks and gratitude to Kes Naidoo and CCMCC for their efforts and the great strides made to try and make the event happen!
The National Rally Championship Steering Committee regrets to announce the cancellation of the first 2 rounds of the 2023 Rally Championship. The event was planned for the 28th and 29th of April in Bredasdorp, WC. The organizers were faced with the challenge of finding adequate sponsorships to host a national event as many of the sponsors from previous years could not commit due to the current economic climate in our country.
The NRC Steering Committee would like to extend its heartfelt thanks and gratitude to Kes Naidoo and CCMCC for their efforts and the great strides made to try and make the event happen! The Cape Car and Motorcycle Club (CCMCC) will still run their event on the 29th of April in Bredasdorp as a regional event, but with only local entrants.
The majority of the National Rally Championship’s entries come from the Northern Regions, which means that competitors would have to travel from Gauteng, Limpopo and Mpumalanga to participate in the first event in the Western Cape. This in itself makes it a very costly exercise for competitors as well. The unfortunate decision to cancel the National Round had to be taken after all the factors were considered.

Rounds 1 & 2 of the 2023 NRC will now occur on the 26th – 27th of May in Secunda, Mpumalanga. The Billy te Water Memorial Rally will offer a good field of entries as the Northern Regions Rally competitors will join the National for round 2 of the Northern Regions Championship. The event will run in conjunction with the annual Secunda Wiele Skou which will take place at Graceland Casino. Indeed a weekend for the petrol head.
Details will be made available in due course as the organizers get the planning of the event in place. Keep an eye on our social media platforms for more details. We would once again like to extend our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.
