Rallying for a cause
The 2024 TRACN4 Rally marks the fourth year that TRAC has hosted the event in Dullstroom, bringing significant economic and social benefits to the Emakhazeni Municipal area. This sponsorship not only supports the sport but also contributes to local causes, with the Dullstroom Epilepsy Centre as the main beneficiary. The centre has received valuable support from TRAC since 2020, with upgrades and major renovations made to its facilities and grounds.
According to Rebecca Mashigo, the centre’s director, TRAC’s continued support has been invaluable to both the centre and the wider community. “As with every year since 2020, we’re all counting down to the start of the rally! We simply love it!” she says.
Local businesses echo Mashigo’s excitement, showing enthusiastic support by planning event specials, discounts and other contributions to rally preparations.
The final showdown of the 2024 NRC season
As the last event of the 2024 National Rally Championship, the TRACN4 Rally promises to be a thrilling conclusion, with competing teams hard at work preparing their vehicles to withstand the challenges of the privately managed, dirt-road stages.
Fans can look forward to five prime spectator points, which will be strategically located to give rally-goers the best views and experiences possible. Specific locations for these points will be shared on TRAC’s social media and in the 2024 TRACN4 National Rally Programme, which will be available on the TRAC website the week of the rally.
