Challenge Cup drivers enjoyed the South African 50th.

We all jumped on planes and met up in Johannesburg before flying together to Capetown after Thanksgiving. Arriving on Tuesday morning, Nov. 29th 2016, after starting Sunday evening and then not needing to be at the track until Thursday, we went on a safari, visited a winery and a car museum before checking into our beautiful condo on the ocean beach. Once at the track we made friendships fast. And in the end the opportunity to drive actually became secondary as we were all sharing together the experience of a lifetime.

All the Challenge Cup drivers finished in the top-10 at Killarney while Zwartkops turned out to be mostly a day of fun hanging out with fellow competitors and trying out many different car types. Now I’m already looking forward to these guys coming over here to run our cars at our tracks

Ray Carmody, Dean Curtis, Johan Wasserman and Ed Womer had the opportunity to race and enjoy the South African hospitality at it's best.

Some of the South African drivers will join us racing in the Challenge Cup as from 2017.

Don't forget the Mountain Goat Rob Murray who had his best day at Zwartkops!! The first Canadian to race Fv South Africa. We all had a fantastic time and met so many new friends. I hope all Challenge Cup drivers will get the opportunity to enjoy the experience ..

After a little delay. We now have the Video from Killarney posted on our web site, Shot from Ed Womers car. With me in the Blue #1 showing how NOT to do a standing start from the pole.

Sounds like a fun trip. Did you transport your own cars to South Africa or rent cars there? If in fact you shipped them how difficult was that part of the process? Thanks
