Toyota Dealer Rally '09 (Day 2)
4 April, 2009 - 18:36 — NOS
The morning started out very wet. That changed dramatically. The sun came out and temperatures soard to 34 degrees. This made the track incredibly dusty.
The battle for top spot raged on for most of the day. Gemmel entered stage 5 as the leader, but that soon chenged. Fekken put on an incredible display of rally prowess, and he lead stage 5 by 15 seconds. Very impressive. This performance ensured that Fekken would walk away with the lead.
These results are provisional :
1. Hergen Fekken, Pierre Arries (VW Polo)
2. Jan Habig, Douglas Judd (VW Polo)
3. Johnny Gemmel, Peter Marsh (Toyota Auris)
4. Mark Cronje, Robert Paisley (Toyota Auris)
5. Enzo Kuun, Guy Hodgson (VW Polo)
6. Wilken/van Niekerk (Subaru Impreza, Toyota RunX)
As you can see, 6th place was a tie. We will be posting final results as soon as they become available. In the mean time, well done to team VW Polo!
This rally was a exciting to watch. With times so close, the spectators were kept on the edge. Performances were impressive all round. Toyota did well, managing to keep 17 of their 20 cars in the rally. As one commentator quipped, 'These Toyota engines are bullet proof'.
Keep your eyes on the blog, there will be more images and video going up soon.

PREDICTION RESULTS
6 April, 2009 - 11:21 — JP DE VRIESSo my prediction result didn't come out the way I hoped for but Mark got to the end at least...
We still have Johnny Gemmell (CASTROL TOYOTA AURIS) on top of the championship leader board and hope that this result will remain after the SASOL Rally in three weeks' time. Thanks to the Auris blog team for keeping us up to date on the TOYOTA Dealer Cape Rally. It was really nice sitting in Centurion knowing exactly what was going on in the Western Cape province. Hope to see your team on the SASOL Rally, the BIG one as we all know... Hopefully CASTROL TOYOTA will have a better rally than last years's SASOL as not one of the TOYOTA works teams made it to the finish at the Show grounds in Nelspruit. All for the best with the preparations on the Aurises for the SASOL.
