Last round this weekend. Weijs hit trouble again on SS3 after being fastest in SS1. Lost more than 1,5 minutes.
Now he's back to 5th overall after 2 fastest stagetimes on SS4 and SS5 with a 21- and 17.2 second margin. :D

Weijs won his first rally in South Africa and also VW's first win of the season. Despite the big loss on SS3. :)
VW's Weijs and Degandt win Garden Route Rally - 03/11/2012 : sarallying
Hans and Bjorn were fantastically fast this weekend and deserved the win, hopefully a good warm up for next weekend in Spain.
hi south african friends ! I'd like to know if there are some drivers who run with S2000 cars in Regional Rallies ? For example I see Michael Otto with Corolla or Willie van Straaten with Fiesta, both in S4 category. Are these cars S2000 ? Or is the right category for these models in S2000 S5 ?
thx in advance :)
Hi Vino_93
The cars you mentioned are not S2000's , the Corolla is an old A7 spec car and the Fiesta was originally an N3 spec car. Toyota uses different names for some of their models in SA, the corolla in question is a sedan, and an older version which was very successful for many years. An older spec s2000 would be the RunX (Corolla in Europe etc)
There are no regular S2000 competitors in regional rallying, the odd national competitor may use one of these events as a practice but do not score points and generally "withdraw" before the official results are posted in order to not influence the regional championships in any way.
hi,
thank you Grant ;) So all your S2000 are used in your national championship, that's nice !
Do you know where are the 207 S2000's from Pirtek are now ? One is still used by Lategan, but where is the other ?
Hi Vino,
As far as i know the 2nd Pirtek car was for sale, was mentioned earlier in this thread but i am not sure of what the status of that is.
Rumours are Hein Lategan will not continue next year to concentrate on his sons efforts, however that is only a rumour, not sure if Hein has made up his mind 100%
thx :)
and do you know who will go to the Tara Rally in Namibia ? Just see that Sebastian Klaasen is on the entry list :) Will you go there you ?
No we wont be going this year.
My driver has made the trip a number of times and it is quite an effort getting through the border to Namibia so we decided to give it a skip.
I finished 3rd overall last year, quite an adventure :-)
Thus far only Sebastian that i am aware of.
