Press Release: The Roundtable Cannonball Run Africa

Registrations for one of South Africa’s most unique motorcar events are now open.

Now in its 9th year the Cannonball Run Africa is convened by Round Table and is organised by Super Car Lifestyle. All funds generated by the Run are donated to the QuadPara Association of South Africa (QASA) and to date the Cannonball Run Africa has raised hundreds of thousands of Rand in charity money.

This year the Run will be held from August 5 to August 8.

Governed by a strict set of rules and guidelines to ensure the safety of contestants, marshals and spectators the Cannonball Run is not a race. It is a motoring adventure and tests contestant's skill, general knowledge and teamwork - and the rules of the road are to be obeyed at all times.

Entrants for this year's Run will have two goals in mind. The first will be to be crowned the champion of the 2011 installment of the Cannonball Run Africa and the second will be to raise money for the QASA.

The route is planned meticulously by the event organisers and remains a highly guarded secret throughout the Run.

"This year, like every other year, contestants will be oblivious to the route of the Run. They will have to use their wits and general knowledge to decipher the clues which we give them. If they cheat, speed or do not collect a clue it will count against them. This is more than just a test of their driving skill," Ross Crichton the organiser of the event said.

This year more than 50 cars are expected to enter the run and some of the machines that will be on show include Ferrari's, Lamborghini's, Porsche's and BMW's to name but a few.
