Perfect weather and racing conditions greeted drivers, co-drivers and spectators for an exhilarating day of off-road racing in Hlathikhulu last Saturday.
The teams took advantage of the picturesque and dry landscape, raising dust as they sped through the routes.
Shaun Braithwaite and driver Trace Price Moor from team Tip Top Milk had a glorious day of racing, snagging top spot in rounds four and five.
“Perfect race conditions! Hlathikhulu is always an excellent track to race on, with a bit of speed and technical stuff,” said Mr Braithwaite.
Another pair of locals on the route were Peter Buys and Michael Smit from team Captive Insurance.

It was an extra-special event, as spectators were allowed to cheer for their favourite teams… Ivy Smit had her first outing since the start of lockdown, attending to support Peter and Michael.
“It was so exciting and I am so proud of these guys. As their mom, I was beaming with pride. The day went well and their driving expertise was out of this world. Mickey is an amazing driver and his navigator, Peter, is spot on. They love the sport and it’s not about winning, it’s about the passion and the thrill,” said avid supporter Ms Smit.
