"No doubt we're expecting serious competition on the track considering how great the actual championship has developed this season, but we’re anticipating lots of fun. This also forms part of our strategy to not just bring the fans to the racing, but to actually take the racing to the fans.

We’re certainly looking forward to reading some of the motivations being provided as we know how passionate South African motorsport fans are.”
