Default 2009 off road Worlds

Long way off, but did someone already mention this? apparently the next 10th off road Worlds is back in South Africa. Is this the same venue as 2001/2?

Does anyone actually race in SA? I mean you get people on the forums from Australia etc but not once have I seen anyone from SA.

I see quite a South African's on the forums ..... however few of them actually still live there.

Might be an interesting one for me though as I could combine it with a trip to see my girlfriends family (on paper ..... actually spend the whole time watching RC..)

There was one dedicated racer from SA in Japan, and there are at least a couple on this forum. The chap from SA in Japan said that there is racing over there - but i guess it's quite insular since you never really hear much about it???

I have heard a lot of stories about the 2001/2 Worlds down there which didn't sound particularly good - nothing to do with the track or racing of course.

I think RC racing at world champs level is getting to be a battle of survival or welth depending on where you go.

It was Jaco in Japan, very cool dude, he did say he reads this forum, as do alot of other guys from there!!!!
On a positive note, I may get to go again if there is not a full UK team, but I do have a plan to gain entry if the Uk team is full....
