In a race that was overwhelmed with mud and rain the youngsters had their work cut out for them as they raced in some of the toughest off road terrain in Southern Africa, but the skill of the riders, and the reliability and race prowess of their Yamaha race machines overcame these challenges to produce outstanding results for the Yamaha stable.

Yamaha very proudly accepted the Manufacturers Trophy for the event, and wish to thank and congratulate their riders for a sterling effort.
