  Saturday 21 March will see the Goldwagen Challenge brigade head for the picturesque Killarney Race Track in Cape Town for the opening round of the 2009 Pro Tour Road Show.

This very popular tin-top formula consistently produced the biggest field of all of the participating formulas throughout the 2008 season. The first race of the year is bound to be filled with the customary close racing that only the Goldwagen Challenge can provide. Plenty of thrills and spills were witnessed last season and action a plenty is expected from some of the best drivers in the country.

New driver and car combinations leave the individual Class championships wide open as no one knows quite what to expect yet. With Jason Finney not racing this year the battle for Class A honours could see any number of competitors in line for the title. Defending Class B champion Carlos Nobre moves up to Class A leaving the Class B title available to a number of talented and eager drivers.
   
  Jakes Jacobs should be back to defend his Class P title with lady racer Elna Croeser looking set to defend her Class C title. She has already set a new Goldwagen Challenge record in 2008 by becoming the first female to win a Class title in this popular VW based tin top formula. Can she make it two in a row in 2009?

The success start of a new season could not be possible without Series sponsors like Goldwagen, Wynns, SS Telecoms, Sabertek, Norbrake, Eduardo Construction, Rapid Motion, Speed & Sound Magazine and of course the entire team who have made the Pro Tour the success that it turned out to be over the last two years.
