Devin Robertson is expected to lead the charge in the Big Boss Auto Super Saloons
Championship leader Ben Morgenrood (Ford Mustang) will once again be under pressure from Mackie Adlem (Jaguar) and Devin Robertson (Chev Corvette) in the GTA class of the Big Boss Auto Super Saloon category. Willie Hepburn (Opel Rekord) is expected to lead the GT2 class with Jody Vianna (Mazda RX8) heading up the charge in GT3. Adrian Dalton (VW Golf) is the man to beat in GT4 with Jimmy Tsimenglou (BMW M3) the class leader in GT5.
Julian Fameliaris (E36 328i Turbo) continues his assault on the class A Championship in the Bridgestone BMW Club Racing Series, but can definitely expect some tough opposition from Desmond Bloem (E36 M3 Turbo) and Julian’s cousin Dino Fameliaris (E36 M3 Turbo) who is expected to return in a greatly improved machine. The class B battle has become a lot closer with Riaan Woest (E46 M3 GTR) a mere two points ahead of Rick Loureiro (E30 3.2 CSL) after the last round. Warren Dodd (E46 M3) has also made good progress but will have to worry about an on form Jorge Estrela (E36 328i Turbo) who has been a revelation over the past few events.
The Phakisa Raceway was the venue for the second round of the 2016 Inland Championship on Saturday 2 April.
The tag line of ‘Real People, Real Racing’ rang true with close and competitive racing being seen from every category racing on the day.

Third placed Willie Hepburn (Opel Rekord) took the GT2 honours while local boy Jody Vianna (Mazda RX8) claimed the GT3 win.
