The annual Phakisa 200, which will see over 50 cars taking to the Free State circuit, is the next race on the calendar for the autoBarn SuperHatch competitors. The 200km long race, which sees the autObarn SuperHatch and Car Care Clinic 111 Sports & Saloons drivers sharing the track, takes place on Saturday, 15 September.

Zane van Zyl leads the overall and Class B championship standings

Scholtz completely dominated class B, but a penalty for being underweight at the end of the race dropped him down to third, handing the win to VW Driver Search winner Raais Asmal (VW Motorsport Polo) with Zane van Zyl (Credit Guarantee/Rim Africa VW Golf) promoted to second.

Class C went to Reno van Heerden from stablemate Almero van Eck (Nosler VW Golf) with Matt Cohen (BHIT / VW Motorsport… Continue reading →
