The end of the first race couldn’t have been closer
The INEX Legends Championship made the long trip down to the scenic Dezzi Raceway in Port Shepstone on the KwaZulu-Natal coast on Saturday 4 June for the fourth round of the 2016 season.
The traditional ball draw for grid positions saw Johann van de Venter (M) on pole position with Llewellyn Myburgh (P) alongside him. Lonika Maartens (SP) would line up in third position with her team mate Anton Repsold (M) joining her on the second row. Brothers Shjaell Nel (SP) and Shaun Nel (P) would round out the top six starting positions.
Race 1
The first race of the day saw the eager field of competitors charge through the first few corners. Llewellyn Myburgh took the lead with Maartens, Repsold and the rest of the field in tow. A frantic first lap saw the faster drivers scything their way through the field as well. Justin Robertson (M) was up to fourth position by the end of the first lap with Seef Fourie (P) and Divan Myburgh (P) in hot pursuit.
The scenic Dezzi Raceway in Port Shepstone, Kwa-Zulu Natal will be the location for the fourth round of the 2016 INEX Legends Championship on Saturday 4 June. This popular series has been included as part of round three of the Historic Tour who will be hosting the event.
The Overall and Individual class championships within the INEX Legends Championship have certainly developed into a close run affair with a number of leading contenders all in with a chance.
The Classes
Divan Myburgh heads the points table in the Pro Category with Keagan Wessels well within striking distance. Shaun Nel could very well pull off an upset or two as well as he is mere points behind Wessels. Seef Fourie and Morne Stoltz have some work to do but are certainly capable of scoring valuable podium points. With a bit of luck and reliability Llewellyn Myburgh could very well steal a podium spot as well.
