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.

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.
