Confirmed that Cronje did roll on SS1.
Ironically Cronje never rolled.
Anyway, after being down in 8th overall after day 1 Cronje fought back to win the Total Rally by 39.3s from Johnny Gemmell in the works Toyota. Third for a long time in the event were Jean-Pierre Damseaux and our own Grant_SA but unfortunately they had a driveshaft fail and puncture on SS13, dropping them down the leaderboard. Nicholas Ryan crashed on SS13 causing a fire which destroyed a large portion of farm. So overall results:
1. Mark Cronje - Ford Fiesta - 2:03:16.6
2. Johnny Gemmell - Toyota Auris - +39.3s
3. Charl Wilken - Ford Fiesta - +1:37.2
4. Jan Habig - Ford Fiesta - +1:51.5
5. Enzo Kuun - VW Polo - +2:01.9
6. Hans Weijs Jnr - VW Polo - +3:08.6
7. Jean-Pierre Damseaux - Toyota Auris - +4:17.6
8. Mohammed Moosa - Toyota Auris - +6:09.6
9. Jon Williams - Ford Fiesta - +6:43.7
10. Wilro Dippenaar - Toyota Auris - +6:55.7
Hi all,
Event went well for us, particularly on friday, sadly some issues on saturday had us drop down the leader board.... for a first time out as a new team i am very happy and confident it will get even better from here.
Grant, caught this shot of you guys on Saturday. :D

Mousti, he did leave quite a bit of body work behind... but didnt roll.
Then he must some sort of a spin where he touched something with the rear and front, luckily no damage on engine or radiator
I didn't know that VW is producing sugar cane harvesters? :-PQuote:
