The Tony Rust Race Track is the only permanent motor racing track in Namibia. It is named after former Namibian motor racing star Tony Rust, who was also president of the Namibian Motor Racing Federation in the mid-2000s.[1]
The track was built in 1984 on hilly terrain. In 2013, renovations and adaptations to FIA standards began.[2] In 2014, the track surface was renewed and new curbs and a new timing system with a transponder system were installed. Plans to enlarge the kart track and extend the run-off areas in the corners of the main track are also underway. The extensive construction work, including the renovation of the main grandstand, was completed in 2015. The construction costs of approximately 500,000 Namibian dollars were borne by the Windhoek Motor Club and the Ministry of Youth, National Services, Sports and Culture .
