The INEX Legends series kicked off proceedings with an action packed first race. Lonika Maartens (Semi-Pro) grabbed an early lead ahead of Seef Fourie (Pro) and Clinton Bezuidenhout (Young Lion). Bezuidenhout grabbed second place coming off the back straight on lap four and then proceeded to take the lead on the penultimate lap of the race. He held on for the win with Fourie claiming second from Maartens on the last lap of the race.

The second race saw Fourie grab an early lead ahead of Justin Robertson (Master) and Shaun Nel (Pro). Bezuidenhout came through from the mid pack to take second on lap two with Nel relegating Robertson to fourth. Bezuidenhout took the lead on the penultimate lap of the race and only just held on for the win ahead of Fourie and Nel.

The third and final race continued the non-stop action early on. Bezuidenhout ran out of brakes at the end of the main straight and had a high speed off, narrowly avoiding the tyre barriers. Anro Stadler (Semi-Pro) took the lead with Fourie, Robertson and Nel in tow. Fourie took the lead on lap three when Stadler retired with suspension issues. Fourie held on for the win with Maartens fighting through to claim second ahead of Robertson.
