The sixth round of the Inland Championship Roadshow will head to the tight and technical Red Star Raceway on Saturday 13 August. With the various categories starting to reveal a number of championship leaders the action is expected to be fast and furious.
The Bridgestone BMW Club Racing Series continues to produce non-stop action. Julian Fameliaris (E36 328i Turbo) has a massive lead in Class A and the overall championship, but can definitely expect some tough opposition from his cousin Dino Fameliaris (E36 M3 Turbo) and Desmond Bloem (E36 M3 Turbo). Riaan Woest (E46 M3 GTR) is the leading contender in Class B but he will be under huge pressure from Rick Loureiro (E30 3.2 CSL) and Warren Dodd (E46 M3). Stefano Martinelli (E36 328i Turbo) and more recently Jorge Estrela (E36 328i Turbo) have also put in some strong performances and could both challenge for a podium position. Class C has produced some of the closest racing all season with at least half a dozen drivers challenging for the lead. Mish-al Sing (E30 325is) currently leads the pack but he will be challenged by the likes of Lorenzo Gaultieri (E36 328i), Andreas Meier (E36 M3) and Craig Ball (E36 328i). Jimmy Tsimenoglou (E36 M3) will be hoping to have his car repaired in time after his recent Zwartkops crash so that he can continue his challenge in the class as well. Philip Smit (E46 M3), Shane Grobler (E36 328i) and Willie Erasmus (E36 M3) have all been in a points scoring position this season as well. Bevan Meyer (E36 325i) still leads the class D brigade but is an unconfirmed entry so drivers like Troy Cochran (E46 325ti), Neil Reynolds (E39 M5) and Edwin Dreyer (E46 M3) will take advantage of the points on offer. Mike Dodd (E36 318is) is the lone Class E driver at this event but will be hoping for more opposition in future.
