Welcome to Round 3 of the 2008 Pro Tour Racing Series at Kyalami.
The Pro Tour management team extends a warm welcome to all race fans, officials, competitors and sponsors at this Blockbuster event.
Having grown in stature with each event that has taken place over the past year, the Pro Tour again has jam packed grids for today’s races. Every championship is wide open and the competitors are all eagerly lining up every opportunity to stake an early claim to the championship titles.
This Citizen Pro Tour Race Day is set to provide unprecedented action as National, National Challenge, Regional and Club championships are hotly contested by a Blockbuster field of over 220 competitors. A special welcome to our guest category competitors from Lotus Challenge and the Sports Racing Association.
In a relaxed but competitive atmosphere of fun and excitement, Pro Tour has solidly entrenched the principles of recognition, equality, co-operation, good sportsmanship, even handedness, fair compromise and solution finding. This has resulted in the 2008 season already yielding many highlights, with unbelievably good racing and unprecedented dedication to “making things work”, from both officials and competitors alike.
Our highly rated, comprehensive and hugely popular website www.pro-tour.co.za features some of the best photographic galleries of motorsport related images available and must be visited.
The resounding success of Pro Tour in 2007 led to expanding the reach of the tour to include events hosted in Cape Town and Port Elizabeth thus totaling 10 rounds in the 2008 Pro Tour. The next Pro Tour event takes place at Killarney on the 10th of May and Pro Tour then returns inland to Zwartkops raceway west of Pretoria on the 21st of June. Please be sure to diarise these dates and join us for an action packed day’s racing.
The Pro Tour management and officials wish all of our drivers and riders a successful and competitive race day and a speedy recovery to a few of our competitors who are recovering from a a variety of injuries (including financial) picked up whilst providing the action for our audiences.
