Grobler wins Toyota Desert Race again

The South African popularised the Nissan hardbody, locally known as Mantshwabisi, by winning back-to-back races in three consecutive years.

He made history again yesterday when he won the race with a BMW X3 which was making its maiden appearance in the event. Grobler together with his navigator Hennie Ter Stege from team RFS Motorsport resorted to the German model after Nissan pulled out of this year's race citing economic recession.
