Rally of South Africa event this weekend, 12 and 13 June 2009

S2000 Castrol Toyota Auris rally car - Osram Rally 2008

The Rally of South Africa, 4th round of the Sasol South African Rally Championship, takes place this weekend around Warburton, Panbult and Ermelo.

Johnny Gemmell and Peter Marsh go into the rally with a four-point lead at the head of the Sasol SA Rally Championship table.

Gemmell - "It won't be easy. Everyone wants to win and realistically, any of the five factory Toyota or Volkswagen drivers are in with a chance, so it's going to be a hard fight for every second on every stage. On top of that the organisers have put together a tough event with minimal servicing between stages as well as the killer stage, Jessievale, which is 60 km long. Get that one wrong and you can forget about winning".  read more »
