This race has become one of the premier sporting events in the country after its opening debut in 2006. The track itself is 5.411 km or 3.37 miles in length and has 15 turns. The main concern for the drivers is that the sand stays off the track so they can launch into their usual lightning fast speeds.
The 3 day event has been set-up as below;
