With rally fever running high in the region following the huge success of the opening round of the season at the EMI Despatch Rally the focus now shifts to yet another spectator friendly event for the second round of the Algoa Rally Club Championship that takes place at the home of Algoa Motorsport Club at Aldo Scribante Raceway on Monday 28^th April.

The Syrabix APS Motul Rally will take place on and around the outskirts of Scribante Raceway with a mix of road and tar stages as well as just gravel stages on the recently cleared dirt roads around the perimeter of the track. Some new high speed jumps have been included in the new gravel sections that will no doubt be spectator hot-spots.

The organisers of the event are hoping to have at least thirty cars on the start line as the rally club continues to flourish, with more and more up-country teams wanting in on the action that is taking place in the Eastern Cape. Further excitement is the continued development of 4-wheel drive cars with Riekus Schmidt set to debut his immaculately built VW Polo to take on the likes of Wade van Zuumeren who competes in a similar car and gets better and better with each outing.

After having sponsored the EMI Despatch Rally the owner of EMI Contruction Denron Koetaan has decided that he wants in on the action and he has purchased Juan van Rooyen’s VW Polo that he and his brother will be competing in as van Rooyen shifts to a Ford Fiesta for the remainder of the season. 

The beauty of holding the rally at Scribante is that there are many spectator vantage points where one is able to see up to four cars competing in various stages at the same time be it on the racetrack or on the surrounding dirt roads. Entrance to the event for spectators is set at just R50 per vehicle so everyone is encouraged to load up their friends and families, bring the braai fires and cooler boxes and enjoy the public holiday whilst enjoying the action.
