Pretoria - The 2017 WesBank Car of the Year competition has wrapped up two grueling days of testing in Pretoria West at the revamped Kyalami International Circuit.
AutoTrader speaks to the South African Guild of Motoring Journalists and COTY chairman, Bernard Hellberg Jnr, at the testing days and finds out exactly what the judging entails and how the finalists were selected.
