I havnt seen confirmation yet, but the older S2000 cars will now fall into a B class (S2000B), limited tyres and a few other rules probably implemented to make it more cost effective,

All in all...

Yes Shane is Jon's brother.

Finished the final round on sunday, yet another 8th for us :-/

Struggled most of the event with a slipping clutch, but got it to the end and made it 8 out of 8 for the year... next year needs to...

We had a very average rally finishing 8th overall, no real excuses other than a broken damper in SS1 and overheating in SS5 due to a problem radiator.

The event was won by Conrad Rautenbach on...

Penultimate round of the SA champs this weekend, the Toyota Dealer Cape Rally, its one of my favourites, fast and flowing, good crowds and beautiful scenery.

Leaving for Cape Town tomorrow, will...

mmmmmm 2nd corner of 1st stage, possibly not that clever hahahaah

That was easily the most technical rally i have ever done, but enjoyable non the less.

The event base was spectacular, highlighting the Garden Route in all its glory,

I made the comment that if...

Off to Round 6 tomorrow, The Garden Route rally...

Roads are VERY narrow, tight and rough, finishing rate is going to be very low, sadly i see this as a rally of survival as opposed to full out...

I'll say it again, go and listen again..

Remember 1 thing, overseas theyr driving on pace notes, here we drive on route notes, we adapt to a pacenote somewhat , but at the end of the day were describing the road, there they are telling them...

Glad you were entertained Mr :-)

I suggest you go listen again to our conversation again, i think you missed the jist of it, you will then understand better, we requested a bigger dust gap and...

Clutch problems werent really related, just yet another rally without a clean run.... i trust this to will pass, :-)

Sadly i think this TDR issue will carry on for some time, this issues needs to...

We had a decent start with the Auris, sadly a slipping clutch at the end of SS7 had us changing the clutch and taking lateness, unfortuantely this caused us to start SS8 35km behind a S1600 car which...

Im off to Port Elizabeth in the morning, roads look good, possibility of 2 stages being cancelled due to flooded roads, but only 20km total distance,

Will let you all know how it goes.

We had some serious rain in the Eastern Cape yesterday, flooding etc, hope the roads havnt taken to much more of a beating..... glad im not an organiser right now :-)

!

We got 12th :-( lost 5 min getting stuck after an overshoot, stage times would have had us in 6th overall if not for that problem. Handful of top 5 stage times are encouraging.

Completed last 4...

Apparently JP's Auris deal was only a rumour.

VW's new cars willl apparently debut on their home event, but could be more rumours,

It's like silly season in the middle of the season :-D

Round 4 next weekend, Toyota Dealer Gauteng rally,

I will check the DVD this weekend, but conditions likely to be similar to the last round, so should be really fast and flowing.

Well guess i was totally wrong about the Fords :-/

Clutch on day 1, a wrong slot , no brakes for 2 stages and a broken drive shaft on day 2, not our most stellar performance ever.

Please keep...

Few places is major understatement, there are LOTS of very long straights. like alot of see 1300

Just saw what i wrote, let me re-phrase,

the Ford long ratio boxes are close to the same as our short ratio boxes.

I think many were waiting to see what kind of strides Toyota had made in the offseason before commiting to buying a new car, was quite surprised to read it myself.

The Fords may struggle a bit on...

Round 3 this coming weekend, been through our notes and its pretty damn fast, so is going to be incredibly close at the sharp end of the field, with alot of cars in contention.

At those speeds your either lucky or your not, there are so many factors that can take you out, i just know it was a big one. Habig really looked to be on a mission when we say him pull away on SS4,...
