After enjoying the benefits of familiar hunting grounds during the previous two rounds of the Toyota GR Cup at Kyalami and Zwartkops, the majority of the field heads into the unknown again in Gqeberha this weekend.
And even runaway leader Sean Nurse ( AutoTrader ), the only competitor in the six-man media field with proper racing experience at the 2.48km Aldo Scribante layout, is not exactly thrilled about racing on the circuit again.
Nurse miles aheadBut despite Nurses previous struggles in the Friendly City , the rest of us will have to produce something extraordinary to keep the AutoTrader man from the top step of the podium. After three three round, he leads with 42 points after six wins out of six.
The Biltong Italian Alex Shahini ( Carmag ) is second in the Toyota GR Cup on 25 points, followed by TV man Hannes Visser ( Lat Wiel ) on 20 points in third. Both of them bounced back nicely at Zwartkops to earn second and third respectively for the day after suffering heavy crashes at Kyalami.
The Citizen Motoring is fourth on 18 points, followed by the ever-improving Kumbi Mtshakazi ( Kumbi-M on Cars ) on 14 points and Bernie Hellberg ( Driven ) on 12.
