| 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. | ||||||||||

We have lift off! – BMW CCG Racing Series
|
||||||||||
| At the sharper end of the field though, the action is just as spectacular. Some of the quickest and most brutal machinery is being prepared for this club championship. The likes of Kris Budnik in his V8 powered M3 GT, Lee Thompson in the insane 335i known better as ‘Boris the Animal’ spring to mind. Soon enough though BMW tuning mastermind Sav Gualtieri will be back with a more modern version of ‘The Judge’ to reclaim his title of the Fastest BMW in South Africa, if not the world. | ||||||||||
| The new season sees many familiar faces doing battle, such as the duel of our two main sponsors Team G&H Transport and Team MBS Carriers. Both have some new weapons in the arsenal, including a highly tuned 135i and the only M3 CSL GTR we know of. New faces to the series include previous club chairman Troy Cochran, newbie Stefano Martinelli and Werner Koekemoer who has swapped the gravel of the regional rally championship for the tarmac of the BMW Club Series. | ||||||||||
| As always, this event promises close, exciting racing with unrivalled levels of camaraderie the drivers are attracted to year after year. The track day kicks off at 08:00 in the morning with the two races scheduled for 13:00 and 15:00 respectively. Entry to spectators is free, and anyone over the age of 12 can ride shotgun around Kyalami for just R100 in the Bridgestone Hot Lap Vehicles. Please note though that long pants and closed shoes are compulsory for this. | ||||||||||

As an added bonus the top 10 fastest cars will automatically be entered into a Time Attack shootout at the end of the programme of events. The cars will be timed from a standing start across the finish line with trophies and bragging rights for the winners up for grabs. | ||||||||||
| The highlight of the day will undoubtedly be the first round of the MSA sanctioned BMW CCG Club Racing Series, which is set to take place with not one, but two action packed races scheduled for the day! Experienced campaigners from previous years, as well as a few new faces will be getting ready for battle in what promises to be a hotly contested race day. | ||||||||||
