The Classic Safari Company Outback Air Race

We are pleased to announce, as revealed in Chinwag #3, that The Classic Safari Company has been selected as naming rights sponsor for OAR2018.

The Classic Safari Company started their relationship with OAR in 2015 when they provided the prize to the OAR raffle that year, a luxury African safari.

In 2018, they have not only provided a similarly generous prize, but they have also increased the value of that prize by 50%.  

In negotiations for the naming rights, The Classic Safari Company have also agreed to make a cash donation to the Outback Air Race, for which we are most grateful.

The Classic Safari Company offers tailormade journeys to Africa, India and South America and embodies the spirit of the Outback Air Race with  the call of adventure and the thrill of open skies.  Founder, Julie McIntosh has flown the Outback Air Race herself while safari outfitter Herbie Rosenberg his a true veteran having flowing in the air race several times and he’ll be competing again this year.    Both are light aircraft enthusiasts with flying between safari camps forming an integral part of many a safari! Through decades of work in remote regions, both at home and overseas, the Royal Flying Doctor Service is a cause that is close to The Classic Safari Company’s heart and to sponsor the OAR and the RFDS is  to support the very essence of life in the wilderness.

We are very pleased to see our relationship with The Classic Safari  Company develop into their newly appointed role as naming rights sponsor, The Classic Safari Company Outback Air Race 2018.
