SCOTTBURGH, KZN - Mark Cronje and Robin Houghton (Ford Fiesta) dominated the Tour Natal Rally, the inaugural round of the 2015 South African National Rally championship, winning seven stage wins and overall victory.
While the Ford pair romped virtually unchallenged in the S2000 class it was very different in the S1600 class as the lead changed hands numerous times before Paulus Franken/Henry Kohne (VW Polo) took victory.
Cronje/Houghton, after 11 special stages through the sugar-cane fields inland from Scottburgh, finished in 2hr06min01, beating defending champions Leeroy Poulter/Elvene Coetzee (Toyota Yaris S2000) by 44.6sec.
