| The long awaited Bridgestone / BMW CCG track challenge at the Phakisa Freeway is only weeks away and regular club members and racing competitors within the series are raring to go. This will be the only visit to this popular race circuit during the 2014 season so it is sure to attract many entries. |

| After the first Time Trial event of the season at Kyalami an exciting battle for top honours looks set for the year ahead. If you are not ready to mix it up with the real racers then this is a great opportunity for you to get yourself accustomed to racing conditions in a more controlled environment. The 10 fastest cars – the top 5 from the Time Trials and the top 5 from the Race Series, will also be entered into a special one-lap shootout that will take place at the end of the day. To even things out a bit, the cars will be set off from a standing start as well. With trophies and bragging rights up for grabs there is plenty to fight for. Competitors from other race series are also welcome to use these events as practice in a mock race environment. |

| A number of BMW S1000RR and HP4 motorcycle riders will be joining us for this event in their own track session on Saturday as well. The sound of these impressive superbikes certainly added to the excitement and atmosphere of last year’s event and we are thrilled to have them back again this year! |
| The highlight of the day will be the second round of the MSA sanctioned BMW CCG Club Racing Series. The first event of the season held at Kyalami certainly created a few surprise results. A mere 8 points separate the top 10 drivers, with Bruce Turner and Carlo Garbini tied on points at the top of the log. With a number of entries expected to make their debut at Phakisa, as well as a few familiar faces making a welcome return to the series, the class battles should be closer than ever! |
| Entry fees start at R800 for Time Trial entrants. Full event details and entry fees can be found on the Club website www.BMWCarClub.co.za. The action kicks off at 08:00 AM and entrance to the circuit as a spectator is free. Food and beverages will be readily available for purchase in the pit complex area. |
| For just R100, spectators can also be taken around the track by a professional driver in one of the Bridgestone Hot Lap vehicles – provided that they have long pants, a long sleeved top and a helmet supplied by the organizers. The obligatory indemnity form will need to be completed and signed as well. |
| If you are interested in joining or attending this event please forward your details to Click-to-Reveal@bmwcarclub.co.za. Further correspondence will then be sent to you. |
