South Africa’s great 4x4 gathering

Five days.
Two courses.
One legend.

For generations, Rust de Winter has been the meeting point for worthy rivals, capable machines and families who believe a little mud improves almost everything.

The mountain route tests judgement and endurance. The Gymkhana compresses the action into ten technical obstacles. Around both: a full camp, old friends and stories waiting to happen.
