A strong field of 28 entries took to the Zwartkops Raceway on Saturday, April the 8th to do battle in the popular single-manufacturer series on the Inland Championship roster.
Bridgestone BMW Club Racing Series – Round 3 – Zwartkops Raceway – 2017-04-08
Qualifying
The Zwartkops round saw three new names for the 2017 season taking the top spots in Class A+. Zimbabwe’s Darren Winterboer (Barons Motor Spares F30 335i) took pole position by just clipping Gianni Giannoccaro (G&H Transport/Itre Cugini Logi 1M GT).
Heading up the second row was Adrian Dalton (Xtra Shoes & Clothing CLS) ahead of the first of the Class A campaigners and reigning champion Julian Fameliaris (Tower Crane Services, Lube-Net E36 328i Turbo). Lorenzo Gualtieri (Savspeed/Powermods/L&R Auto Electric E36 328i Turbo) slotted into fifth place on the grid ahead of Stefano Martinelli (Dalucon Insulated Panels E36 328i Turbo) making his return after missing Round 2 at Red Star Raceway.
This sure promised for some fast paced racing out front with the faster cars joining the grid for this round of the championship.
