The third round of the 2016 Inland Championship was held at the rustic Midvaal Raceway on Saturday 7 May.
Once again the Bridgestone BMW Club Racing Series produced one of the biggest fields on the day.
Julian Fameliaris (E36 328i Turbo) took a double win on the day
Julian Fameliaris (E36 328i Turbo) took the lead ahead of poleman Stefano Martinelli (E36 328i Turbo). Fameliaris romped home to a comfortable Overall and class A victory ahead of Martinelli who took the class B honours ahead of Rick Loureiro (E30 3.2 CSL). Paulo Loureiro (E36 M3) took the class C win ahead of Mish-al Sing (E30 325is) with Alex Desogus (E36 M3) taking class D.
The traditional reverse grid by class for the second race would set the proverbial cat amongst the pigeons. Fameliaris grabbed an early lead once again and went on to take yet another Overall and class A win. Martinelli took the double in class B with Sing taking the honours in class C. Series newcomer Andy Smith (E36 318is Turbo) claimed his first win in class D.
The third round of the Inland Championship Roadshow will head to the rustic Midvaal Raceway on Saturday 7 May for another action packed event.
Devin Robertson – Big Boss Auto Super Saloons
The Big Boss Auto Super Saloon category is always a fan favourite with the V8 GTA class growing in strength. Ben Morgenrood (Ford Mustang) and Franco Di Matteo (Jaguar) will once again be under huge pressure from the new generation of younger driver who has entered the fray. Seef Fourie Junior (Chev Lumina) is more than capable of a podium position, with drivers like Mackie Adlem (Jaguar) and Terry Wilford (Ford Falcon) able to challenge for a victory as well. Other newcomers like Amos Cockerham Junior (Chev Corvette) and Devin Robertson (Chev Corvette) are also expected to cause a few upsets. Willie Hepburn (Opel Rekord) will be missed in the GT2 class but Jody Viana (Mazda RX8) is expected to challenge for the GT3 honours. Series newcomer Adrian Dalton (VW Golf) is a likely contender in GT4 while Jimmy Tsimenglou (BMW M3) will once again challenge for the GT5 laurels.
