The INEX Legends pack bound to steal more hearts with their close wheel to wheel racing
The INEX Legends Championship will head to the Zwartkops Raceway in Pretoria for the eighth round of the 2016 season on Saturday 3 September. However this time out they will be a guest category in the increasingly popular Extreme Festival format of racing.
The Overall and Individual class championships in the series are now closer than ever.
The Classes
Seef Fourie and Divan Myburgh are currently tied on points at the top of the points table in the Pro Category. Shaun Nel is not too far behind the pair and could well cause a few upsets as well. Keagan Wessels has had a string of podium results over the past two events and is certainly looking to make a late charge for a top three result in the class if he continues racking up the points like he has. Morne Stoltz drops back to fifth position while Llewellyn Myburgh continues to search for the reliability that has been preventing him from showing his true potential.
Seef Fourie was on song and emerged as the new championship leader
The INEX Legends Championship headed to the Red Star Raceway on Saturday 13 August for the seventh round of their 2016 season.
The traditional ball draw for grid positions saw Jordan Larsson (N&S Bodyworks / Enviro Aire) grab pole position with Janeske Viljoen (INEX Legends SA) drawing second. Seef Fourie (Maxtrac / Denmar Steel) would line up in third position with Keagan Wessels (Liqui – Moly) lining up alongside him on the second row. Llewellyn Myburgh (Bamboo Racing) and Shaun Nel (Royal Purple Oil) rounding out the top six.
Race 1
The first race of the day saw Larsson take the lead ahead of Fourie, Wessels and Nel. Larsson blew his chances with a spin through turn three however, dropping him back in the field. Fourie then inherited the lead with Wessels hot on his heels. Clinton Bezuidenhout (Universal Healthcare) was up to third by the end of the first lap with Nel and Anton Repsold (Maxtrac / Denmar Steel) in tow.
The sixth round of the 2016 Inland Championship saw this popular Roadshow head out to the technical Red Star Raceway this past weekend for another action packed round which provided thrills and spills for the large crowd on the day.
An impressive performance by Seef Fourie (Pro) saw him taking the overall and Pro class victory
The INEX Legends Championship series kicked off proceedings with their first race of the day. Poleman Jordan Larsson (Semi-Pro) held an early lead ahead of Seef Fourie (Pro) and Keagan Wessels (Pro). Fourie took the lead before the end of the lap however with a hard charging Clinton Bezuidenhout (Young Lion) up to second a lap later. Fourie held on for a comfortable victory with Wessels getting the better of Bezuidenhout on the last lap to claim second. Maartens was credited with third after Bezuidenhout was penalized for a jump start.
Poleman Divan Myburgh (Pro) held the lead at the start of the second race with Justin Robertson (Master) and the rest of the pack in tow. Lonika Maartens (Semi-Pro) was up to third and rapidly closing down on the leaders. She got past Myburgh for second and then grabbed the lead from Robertson coming out of turn one on the second lap. Fourie was up to second by the penultimate lap, bringing Wessels with him. Maartens took a comfortable win ahead of Fourie and Wessels.
Shaun Nel (Pro) took an early lead at the start of the third race with Bezuidenhout, Larsson and Fourie not too far behind. Bezuidenhout grabbed the lead by lap three only to lose it to Fourie a lap later. Fourie held on for the win ahead of Bezuidenhout with Maartens coming through to take third.
