SOUTH AFRICA MOTOR RALLYING DESERT SPEEDWEEK
epa04412958 A modified 1941 Ford rat-rod pickup truck drives across the Hakskeenpan during the 2014 Kalahari Desert Speedweek at Hakskeenpan, Northern Cape of South Africa, 23 September 2014. The Speedweek sees motorsport enthusiasts gathering in a remote desert in the north of the country to drive their vehicles across seven kilometers of specially prepared clay track for high speed top end runs. Technically the desert Speedweek is more challenging than asphalt runs requiring much more driving and engineering skills for top honours in each class. Hakskeenpan, in the Northern Cape of South Africa close to the Namibian border is where the British Bloodhound rocket powered car will attempt to set the new world land speed record of 1610km/h in 2015.
