good lord, i knew alot of people weren't going going but i've seen club meetings with more people booked in! 8(

Thanks mate...but seriously the registrated drivers list can't be a updated one:thumbdown:

True, there are a couple of drivers on there I know for a fact aren't going...

south africa was not the place to hold this:thumbdown: more folks turn up for a bcl:lol:

I read there were only 50 entries

24 drivers listed on the reg drivers list ,o dear

It is a shame this event has very few drivers. I really enjoyed Japan 07.


I do think it is mainly down to the location, and of course having very little money doesnt help.
I am not saying South Africa isn't a safe place, or even that it's a bad place, but for some reason people think they MAY not be safe, and for most of us that do this as a hobby this may have been too much.

This post is not a dig at SA, just the way I see things;)

they just had the 1/5th onroad worlds there, and that only attracted 7 drivers in total...

Wow, gotta feel sorry for the organisers / local club with such a poor turn out.

Are there any rules+regs. that state the minimum number of entries for the event to be classified as a worlds? And can the winner really be considered a world champion; I feel sorry for whoever it is as the low turnout devalues the title somewhat?

Damn, I should've bought a plane ticket, as maybe even I had a chance this year :lol:

they were all locals...

its was basically a club race to crown the IFMAR world champion :drool:

It Is a big mistake by the IFMAR to race in south Africa.
Safety is a problem but also the political situation means it is highly controversial to attend.

However it is a chance for a brave club racer to make a name for himself. After all even if only 7 drivers turned up for the 1/5th worlds there was still a world champ.

I would not go and personally i am very disappointed that the best drivers aren't going i really had high hopes for Tebo making a name for himself!!!

I think thats the idea with some of the big teams sending a single driver - to devalue the race. Others don't want to attend because these big teams already devalued the results - and so on.

Good luck to whomever wins! We have money on Martin Achter to give Durango a good showing in 4WD :thumbsup:

IFMAR need to get rid of the idiot that thought this up. How can you call it a words when people are afraid of going there. Lets hope its not USA or Japan next time.

Oh to be fair I didn't think that many raced 1/5th anyway LOL :p

well i'm looking forward to the Afghanistan Worlds next time :rolleyes:

A track in the middle of Helmand Province with a rostrum big enough to take 20 people (a bodyguard for each driver) and bullet proof glass at the front LOL :thumbsup:
