New challenge: The Khawa dune challenge will be upgraded this year

The Botswana Motor Sport (BMS) has moved to patch up the gap created by the absence of the 1,000 Toyota Desert Race (TDR), popularly called Mantshwabisi, with the introduction of the Khawa500.

The championship is set for April 30 and May 1 in Khawa. Khawa500 has been added to the BMS national off-road championship calendar in partnership with the Botswana Tourism Organisation (BTO) and the Ministry of Youth Empowerment, Sport and Culture Development.

The Khawa500 will hold the national championship doubleheader as it hosts rounds three and four of the competition. The event replaces the 1000 TDR, which has been moved to Upington, South Africa for the second consecutive year.
