UPDATE: We have heard from a reliable source that the opening round of the Wesbank Super Series will in fact be held at Kyalami as originally planned. A meeting confirming this will take place tomorrow and an announcement confirming the venue is expected to be made on Monday.

Zwartkops to host Wesbank Super Series opener

It was confirmed late yesterday that the opening round of the 2012 Wesbank Super Series national circuit racing championship on 03 March has been moved from Kyalami to Zwartkops.

The reality of this means that Zwartkops will have hosted three consecutive rounds of the Wesbank Super Series

It appears an imminent court case over who actually owns Kyalami played a role in the decision.....watch this space

Cronje loses rally title in court
Written by sw   
Friday, 25 November 2011 20:01

Mark Cronje is no longer the 2011 national rally champion. After a rather bizarre series of protests and appeals, the title has gone to Conrad Rautenbach.

Rautenbach retired from the Gauteng Rally in June. He was also subsequently excluded for reconnoitring a stage. Toyota's Johnny Gemmell was given the same penalty.

Rautenbach then appealed the entire event on the grounds that it was badly organised and many competitors gained an unfair advantage by taking shortcuts which was even encouraged in the provided pace notes.

The National Court of Appeal found that the general event organisation, organisational deficiencies and shortcutting were grounds that the event should be declared null and void and no competitor should score any points.

As a result, by protesting an event he didn't finish, Rautenbach ends up as champion ...... Rules allow each competitor to drop their worst score of the season, and a disqualification cannot be be dropped. That meant Rautenbach had to drop a good points haul and if he'd been able to drop the Gauteng Rally he still would have been champion.

Street race planned for Durban?

It seems as though a round of next year's Wesbank Super Series could be in the streets of Durban in June.

Details are sketchy but it appears this will not be the old A1GP course although it will incorporate some of the roads used. The race is likely to be based at the Moses Mabhida stadium which was earmarked as a venue for a round of the FIA GT championship last year.

MSA warns of consequences
Written by sw

Motorsport South Africa issued a statement regarding the judgement handed down on Friday.

CONSEQUENCES FOR ALL SPORT
 
Motorsport South Africa has with concern taken note of the judgment handed down today in the North Gauteng High Court in the dispute between it and World of Motorsport ZA.
 
In particular the judgment in respect of the constitutionality and/or enforceability of section 1 of the National Sport and Recreation Act appears to be problematical and may likely have unintended and far reaching consequences not only for motorsport, but for all National Federations seized with the administration and control of particular sporting codes.
 
The typed transcript of the judgment is expected during the course of next week, whereupon Motorsport South Africa shall consider its position with regard to an appeal against the judgment.
