The tenth round of the 2015 Liqui Moly Legends Championship will see this popular series return to the Midvaal Raceway in Meyerton on Saturday 14 November for the penultimate event of the season. The three young guns that represented South Africa at the Legends Cars Road Course World Finals at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway in the USA last month will be back in action and will be looking to give the local competitors a run for their money once again.
Defending champion Devin Robertson (Pro) continues to dominate the season and has increased his lead over Seef Fourie (Pro) in the championship yet again. Willie Erasmus (Pro) continues to rack up the points and will no doubt be looking to repeat the feat at Midvaal.
Franco di Matteo (Master) has closed the gap to Erasmus and will be focused on trying to get himself into the top three after the Midvaal event as well. Llewellyn Myburgh (Pro) picked up valuable points in round nine and is now only forty points behind the veteran. After a few troublesome races earlier in the year he will be keen on trying to gain a position or two in the championship.
Shaun Nel (Pro) continues his good form and moves into the top six after the Zwartkops event, a step closer to challenging Myburgh for fifth. Justin Robertson (Master) moves up to seventh place and is within striking distance of Nel as well. Keagan Wessels (Semi-Pro) drops back to eighth position in the championship after losing points in the local series due to his sojourn to America last month.
Lonika Maartens (YL) remains in ninth position, despite losing points due to her trip to America as well. Fred Els (M) has however narrowed the point’s gap between himself and the young starlet and will be looking to move up the leader board as well.
With championship hopes still very much alive the racing is expected to be closer than ever!
