Weekend sports: Rev your engines and more

Superbikes and fast cars – that’s what this weekend is all about.

Don’t dare miss the FIM Superbike World Championship (Thailand), or the NASCAR Xfinity Series, or the Monster Energy NASCAR action throughout Saturday and Sunday.

Locally, Randfonteiners can make their way to the Randfontein Oval Track on Saturday for another exciting day of motorsport action.

Other sport not to miss includes Super Rugby, Round 6 of the World Rugby HSBC Sevens Series in Canada, the last day of the first Test Match between the Black Caps and Proteas ‘down under’, and mouthwatering European football matches on both Saturday and Sunday.
