Hovering just outside the top six is KZN based Guy Botterill (Fragram Tools) who has opened eyes since he joined the series at round 2 in Port Elizabeth. The former Engen Polo Cup racer has consistently been in the lead battle and it’s only a matter of time before he claims a win.
Sean Greve (Vulcania Reinforcing) is another driver who had improved greatly this year. He’ll run comfortably in the top six and it can’t be long before he also joins the winners circle.
Newcomer Bertil Hoffman (IOU Music) had an impressive debut at Kyalami last month and proved that he’s got the pace to worry the front-runners. The Dutch born driver moved to Cape Town a few years ago and although he hasn’t done much racing in South Africa he has a wealth of experience in Europe and he does know Killarney quite well.
Craig Shorter (Execuline) was on form last time out and the likes of Colin Frost (Strocam) are also capable of good results as is former Porsche racer Thomas Reib (Intertrans). Richard Wood is mr Consistency and perhaps the country’s biggest supporter of sports car racing.
Kwa-Zulu Natal drivers Bryant van der Merwe (Chemspec) and Sun Moodley (Big Foot Express) also joined the series this year and have adapted well to the rigours of these physically demanding cars. Hanno Pengilly is also a newcomer to the class but business commitments have severely limited his testing opportunities.
