The Tony Rust Race Track ( German Tony Rust Race Track ) is the only permanent motorsport race track in Namibia . It is 2600 meters long and is around nine kilometers west of Windhoek . The sports complex also includes a go- kart track . The start-and-finish line was also used for acceleration races , here over the classic Quarter Mile (approx. 400 m). [1]

The route was built in 1984 on a hilly area. With a combination of extreme differences in altitude with long straights and five curves, it is one of the fastest circuits in southern Africa.

It is named after the former Namibian motorsport star Tony Rust , who was also president of the Namibian Motorsport Association in the mid-2000s .

Renovation work and adjustments to FIA standards began in 2013 . Currently (as of May 2014) the web surface is being renewed and new edge guards and a new timekeeping system with a transponder system are being installed. Plans to enlarge the kart track and extend the run-off zones in the curve area of ​​the main track are also underway. The extensive construction work, including the renovation of the main grandstand, should be completed in 2015. The Tony Rust Track should then be approved and approved by the FIA ​​as an international race track, with the exception of Formula 1 races. [3] The construction costs of around 500,000 Namibian dollars are from Windhoek Motor Club and theMinistry of Youth, National Services, Sports and Culture .
