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.
The Phakisa Raceway was the venue for the second round of the 2016 Inland Championship on Saturday 2 April.
The tag line of ‘Real People, Real Racing’ rang true with close and competitive racing being seen from every category racing on the day.
Darren Winterboer claimed the double in class A in the Bridgestone BMW Club Racing Series
The Big Boss Auto Super Saloons category had two exciting races. Poleman Ben Morgenrood (Ford Mustang) grabbed the lead in the first race but this was short lived after the red flag came out after the first lap when Mackie Adlem (Jaguar) spun out and hit the pit wall.
Morgenrood once again grabbed the lead at the restart and went on to claim the victory ahead of newcomer Seef Fourie (Chev Lumina) when arch rival Di Matteo retired on the third lap with diff issues. Third placed Willie Hepburn (Opel Rekord) took the GT2 honours while local boy Jody Vianna (Mazda RX8) claimed the GT3 win.
