FURIOUS SA ENDURANCE FIGHT IN PROSPECT AT GQEBERHA!

Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth), and it’s going to be a night of racing mayhem! Picture this: 30 unleashed competitors powering through the track at 16:30 for a four-hour race deep into the night, with dancing lights, glowing brakes, and flaming exhausts turning the racetrack into a disco inferno!

But wait, there’s more! Sparks will fly as the championship reaches its mid-point, and the leading contenders battle it out for victory. Charl Arangies leads the charge with 93 points, teaming up with Clint Weston in their Pagid/Stradale Motorsport Mercedes-AMG GT3. Their main rivals, Hein and Henk Lategan and Verissimo Tavares, will be on the prowl in their Black Bull Racing Porsche 911 GT3 Cup, aiming to snatch the crown after their win at Red Star Raceway.

But it’s not just about the big guns; the little rebels are ready to shake things up! The new Adjust4Sleep/Rico Barlow Racing Nova Proto NP02 is a European racer weighing as much as a toaster (765kg) and powered by a 5-liter Ford V8. Watch it go head-to-head with the Chev-engined Ginetta G57, roaring like a beast on the track!

Xolile Letlaka and Stuart White are revving up in their Into Africa Lamborghini Huracan GT3 Evo, ready to set their campaign straight. Meanwhile, Mo Mia and Lee Thompson will fight it out in their Toys-R-Us Porsche 911 GT3 Cup, aiming for glory after a fourth-place finish.

And the surprises keep coming! The Harp Motorsport Pilbeam-Nissan MP84 LMP2 is here to show the prototype cars how it’s done.

On the battlefield of speed, it’s all about Mercedes and Porsche teams vying for supremacy. They’re not in championship contention, but you bet they’ll race to the finish line to claim bragging rights, even if it’s in lower race positions!

Class battles are heating up too! Daniel Rowe leads the class D fight with Graeme Nathan in their VW Polo GTi SupaCup, and rumor has it they have some top-secret developments under that blue bodywork. And speaking of Polo power, the Kalex VW Polo SupaCup is ready to rumble against its VW counterpart in a battle royale!

The Class E championship-within-a-championship is like a wild rollercoaster ride, with identical Lexus-powered Backdraft roadsters challenging the lone Xena Chemicals Nash-VW. It’s an unpredictable showdown for the ages!

Hold your breath because the One-Hour Dash is a spectacle of speed! Michael Stephen, the hometown hero in his Ultimate Outlaws Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo2, is blazing a trail to victory with back-to-back wins. But don’t dismiss Roelf du Plessis in the Ultimate Outlaws McLaren MP4-12C, ready to give the Audi a run for its money!

And who can forget the rumbling V8 Mercedes-AMG GT3s mixing it up with wailing V10 and V12 machines? It’s like a symphony of speed and horsepower on the track!

It’s going to be an unforgettable weekend at the SA GT National Championship too! Silvio Scribante and Michael Stephen are set for an epic clash on their home turf, both enjoying fan support. With lightning-fast racers and reliable Lamborghinis, the battle for top honors is going to be fierce and funny!

So, ladies and gentlemen, strap yourselves in for the SAES Winter Motorsport Festival on 4th and 5th August 2023. Tickets are only R80 for adults, and kids under 12 get in free! Get ready for a crazy ride filled with thrills, spills, and toaster-sized racers! See you at the racetrack!
