After securing the Rookie class title, Reghardt Joubert will be stepping up into the 1600 Saloon class for the first time, joining rally drivers Deon Kretzmann and Eddie Banks in what is fast becoming a very competitive class. 

The biggest class on the night will be the popular Heavy Metal class for classic type stock cars, with rally driver Keith Coleman making an appearance as well as regular Clerk of the Course Andries Olwagen, who will swap his flags and rule book for a steering wheel. 

Spectators are in for an exciting evening with some fun initiatives being introduced on the night to spice things up. Racing is scheduled to start at 18h00, with entrance to the circuit set at R60 for adults, R40 for pensioners and R30 for children 6-12 years old.
