An exciting change to this weekend’s third round of the Algoa Motorsport Club’s Regional championship is the addition of the Cape Town based Kaltron Formula Supercars that are making the trip to Aldo Scribante Raceway.  The cars that run a 2 litre Opel Motor were all built by the late Owen Ashley and celebrate their thirtieth year of existence next year. They will take part in three races with the first two being for championship points and then the third being a fun race where they will be joined by local Supercar racers Peter Schultz and Tom Hugo.

A strong field of twenty modified saloons will be in action and sees legendary racer Syd Lippstreu with his immaculate Toyota Celica moving from the Retro Classic class and joining the modified saloons for the first time. The battle up front should once again be between the class B cars of Ian Riddle in his VW SuperPolo and Ian Oberholzer in his Volvo 850 station wagon as well as relative newcomer Elan Buchman in a VW SuperPolo.

In the Wide Horizon Advance Training sponsored Coastal Challenge for historics, classics and retro classics is Brent Watts who is making a welcome return to circuit racing at Aldo Scribante Raceway in his Nissan Skyline and is set to give the similar Skylines of usual frontrunners Rane Berry and Tom Hugo a run for their money. East London visitor Neil Stephen returns with only Opel Manta in the country that is racing and joins a whole fleet of classic Ford Escorts, Anglia’s and Capri’s as well as a classic VW Beetle with Henry Adams behind the wheel. Included in the mix are the Street & Fine cars with Barry Buchman in his Mercedes A45S and Ayrton Pilz in a Renault Clio 3 RS.

Dylan Grobler returns to action after a short break in the open motorcycle class on his new 600cc Yamaha R6 and will be up against fellow 600cc competitors Ethan Diener, Ruan van Zyl and Ashton Heideman in what promises to be an epic battle on-track. Kiera Potgieter is also back after taking a nasty tumble at the last round of the championship during qualifying and joins fellow girl racers Emma Diener and Kirsty Oberholzer in the CBR 150/250 motorcycle class where they’ll be up against Craig Benn, Dylan Grobler, Ruan van Zyl, Rob de Vos and Anthony Lippstreu

Racing is set to start at 10h15 and there will be three heats per class including the Ingco 45 Minute race that ends off the day and is set to start at around 16h15.
