This famous event, which started in 1969 and saw many drivers from Zimbabwe, South Africa and the United Kingdom taking part, is still attracting competitors from other countries.
Walker said it was not going to be an easy competition, but he would try to push hard to retain the trophies that he won last year.
“There are a lot of South Africans coming for this race and it is going to be a very tough one,” he said.
“This is one race you cannot easily promise something, but I will try my best. My plan is to push hard from the beginning. Castrol Oil are behind me and they are helping me with oil so I would like to recognise their support.”
The motorcycles will take centre stage at 1-2pm before the motorsport enthusiast are thrilled to a Three-Hour Endurance which will start at 3pm till 6pm.
Last year Darren Winterboer won the overall trophy in the Three-Hour while in his debut Michael McKillop from South Africa won the index.
McKillop has confirmed participation in the 45th anniversary of the event and will be looking forward to claim the index for the second time.
