After a 12-month wait adrenaline enthusiasts will finally have a chance to witness their speed masters take on the Kopong terrain later this month.

The Botswana Motor Sport (BMS) will hold the first round of the national off-road championship, dubbed Kopong 200, on February 27, 2021. The event will be the first ever to allow fans since the 2019 season. However, there are regulations.
