During the race on Friday the 8^th of August, Murphy or Taylor spearheaded through the long 100km stretch in production vehicle segment. The Horn brothers were not too far away only four seconds behind. Poulter is a proficient racer, but is not on par on professional level. It was a task for him; he considers it to be his first season of Donaldson Cross Country Championship. Poulter managed to finish 6 minutes behind Murphy or Taylor.

The race began on a bright Saturday morning at 8am; Murphy or Taylor started off fiercely and maneuvered through a special vehicle in front and in the process lost a windscreen.

Taylor or Murphy from Castrol team faced troubles along the road, they has to face grave transmission issues, and then had no other choice but to retire. This made it easy for Horns to emerge podium finishers for the very first time. The second place was taken by Siegfried Rousseau and Gary Bertholdt.

The Force Fuel racing event is challenging, the terrains are harsh drivers have to move past stubborn sandy roads. During the start of the race Leeroy Poulter was miles behind the winning streak huddled in seventeenth position. He just wanted to enjoy the rhythm of the race and was not positive of a win in the beginning.

It is a task to life vehicles all along the dust, Poulter said his team managed to do the task with ease. The fact that Horn brothers won the race on back of Hilux is a measure of how impactful Toyota vehicles are. A vehicle should have adequate amount of safety to jump on desert roads. It only goes to show that Toyota is a forerunner in the department of advanced suspension and acceleration technology.
