This year’s Inland circuit racing championships will be finalised at the Red Star Raceway near Delmas on Saturday, with nine categories of four-wheeler competition joining the fray.
Heading up the day’s activities will be two Bridgestone BMW Car Club races, with more than 30 competitors scheduled to face the starter. The overall victory favourite must be Darren Winterboer, in his violently quick Barons BMW M3. He will be chased by people like Andreas Meier (Trained Amateaur BMW M3), Renier Smith (BMW E36 M3), Oz Biagioni (Bio Pool BMW M3), Jan Eversteyn (African Surprise BMW M3), Salvi Gualtieri (Savspeed BMW 328 Turbo) and Rob Gearing (BMW 325iS).
Willie Hepburn will win both the Universal Health Pre-1980 Historic Car races with his Amtec Opel Rekord V8. Behind him, there will be dicing between the likes of Jannie van Rooyen (Volkswagen Scirocco), Johann Smith (JMS Mazda Capella Rotary), Alan Green (Ford Escort Mk I), Marius Verwey (Mazda R100), Stuart Konig (Northern Bolt Volkswagen Scirocco) and Rene van Rensburg (SV Tech Ford Escort Mk II).
