George qualified on the front row of the grid in second place 1.2 seconds behind the Chev Corvette of Andries Marx and ahead of the Corvette of Larry Wilford in a field of 22 competitors.
The status quo was maintained during Race 1 with George chasing the Corvette of Marx hard but not managing to get close enough to manage a serious challenge.
The Exclusive Glass Hencom Auto Body Jaguar XKR started Race 2 on the front row of the grid again, but was much more competitive after several adjustments were made to the suspension to correct under-steer, improving handling of the car and allowing George to mount a serious challenge. With the Jaguar hard on the heels of the Corvette of Marx, the safety car had to be deployed due to a racing incident.
George used this opportunity to mount pressure at the restart on the Corvette in front of him, forcing the Corvette into a mistake resulting in the Corvette spinning out in turn two on lap 7, giving George the lead that he never relinquished, winning the race ahead of Jody Viana in a Mazda RX8.
George therefore took the overall win of the day, with Andries Marx in second place in his Super Said Chev Corvette and Larry Wilford in third in Class A in his Chev Corvette.
George’s next race is at the Phakisa International Raceway on August 2 where he will be competing in the SA Sports and GT Championship in the V8 Supercars category.
