The 1000km off-road race returns

The development marks the return of the 1000km long race for the first time since 2023. The race dubbed ‘Sarona Desert 1000 Challenge’ is a double header event with drivers looking to score double points in the season opener. The Sarona Desert 1000 Challenge forms rounds one and two of the 2025 BORRC, with a further four rounds to come in the six-round competition. BORRC got off to a great start in 2024 with a four-round championship. The championship is the first local off-road racing competition. Last year, it attracted drivers from neighbouring South Africa and Namibia.

For its second year, BORRC will serve the first ever local 1000km-long double header event. "The Botswana Off Road Racing Championship (BORRC) is thrilled to kick-off an exciting new season with six rounds lined up. We promise an action-packed and competitive year ahead. We are starting the season with a bang, the Sarona 1000 Desert Challenge, a double-header event marking the launch of Botswana’s very own desert race.
