With the season nearing an end, and championship titles up for grabs it will be an interesting day out on circuit with everyone hoping for no incidents or accidents as they try to bag maximum points. In the modified saloon class Deon Slabbert in his VW Polo will have his work cut-out fending off the attack from Tiaan Coetzer in his very quick Opel Tigra as well as Ian Riddle and Elan Buchman in their VW SupaCup Polos.
A highlight of the day will be the Street & Fine Car class that caters for road going cars and is often seen as a stepping stone into main stream circuit racing and at the time of going to the press there were already fourteen entries in the class.
Following his success in last weekend’s Steytlerville Rally, the versatile Juan “Bollie” van Rooyen moves to single-seaters in the Wide Horizon Coastal Challenge where he will debut a classic Lotus 11. The Lotus 11 is a custom built sports racing car built in various forms by Lotus from 1956 – 1958 with about 270 of them having ever been built.
On two-wheels, Caden Weise will be returning to the track after the culmination of his successful motocross season where he finished in fourth place overall in the High School Class in the South African Championship. He will be mixing it up in the CBR 150 junior class with the likes of Dylan Grobler and Craig Benn who have just returned from Spain after having attended the Red Bull Rookie Cup selection trials. Emma Diener and Kirsty Oberholzer will be chasing line honours in the CBR 150 Clubman class where Kirsty has enjoyed the upper-hand of late.
Racing is scheduled to start at 10h40 and will culminate with the Bronscor Ingco 45 Minute Endurance Race that starts at 17h30.
