Race vehicles will make their debut in the Botswana Motor Sport (BMS) National Off-Road Championships Round Three to be held at Malotwane in Kgatleng.

The BMS Championships have in the past seasons featured only the quads and two-wheel bikes. But both the bakkies and special vehicles will make their maiden appearance on local soil during the Gaborone Motor Club (GMC)-organised event.
