Four intense, action-packed days of Boot Camp training and evaluation held in the small Karoo town of Prince Albert from 18 to 21 June have led to the selection of the Top 20 contestants for the 2015 Ford Ranger Odyssey in Namibia.
A total of 38 contestants made their way to the start of Boot Camp, having been chosen from thousands of online entries received for this year's event on www.RangerOdyssey.com and via dealer events held in selected Sub-Saharan Africa markets. The group comprised 29 South Africans along with four entrants from Nigeria, two each from Mozambique and Ivory Coast, and one from Angola.
The two successful contestants from Nigeria comprise Moyosore Fawol and Giftson Onuiri - both from Lagos - who were among the squad of four that was chosen during the in-market selections held by Ford dealer Coscharis Motors.
Along with the rest of the contestants, their Boot Camp adventure commenced on Thursday 18 June with in-depth instruction on the theoretical aspects of the Ford Ranger and 4x4 driving in general, along with the crucial elements of vehicle recovery techniques. The team then had to haul their luggage by foot to the overnight campsite around 2.5 km away, then set up tents for the chilly mid-winter nights spent under the stars.
