Himmel and Botes win Total Tara Rally
Submitted by editor on Tue, 12/12/2006 - 14:06.Richard Himmel and Adolf Botes kept Namibiaâ??s flag flying high when they won the Total Tara Rally in their Toyota Corolla last month.
In one of the closest rallies in recent years, they beat compatriots Michael Rust and Jaco van Dyk in a Landcruiser by a mere 23 seconds, to win the Total Tara Rally for the second time, following their first triumph in 1999.
