SARDA Electric On-road Nationals Rd4 – Report

The 2016 South-African ORE national championship moved to Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape Province at the Diaz RC Club for round 4 of the series. With the third round being rained out, the challenge to gain championship points was on between the drivers. Some of the drivers could not make the event but quite a few of the country’s top drivers still participated. The track and “tennis court” surface was new to most drivers and the fast technical layout proved to be great for racing. Free practise started on Thursday but a cold front hit the coastal city on Friday with strong winds and cold rain. The rain stayed away for the weekend but the track surface gathered lots of sand and water, and the cold temperature made for low traction. The first qualification round started late on Saturday and the drivers were urged to do lots of practise laps to help clear the track of the fine sand that blew in from the coast.

A special chemical to remove residue from tyre moulding and production, the product is best used to clean both the tyre bead and also the contact surfaces of the rim in order to remove oils, greases and dust, all of which can prevent any tyre glue from bonding properly. The chemical can also be used as a tyre cleaner before applying tyre additive, removing dust, dirt and collected rubber. The cleaner comes in a handy pump-style bottle for easy, convenient and safe application by just pressing down the upper part of the bottle using a towel or paper rag.

2016 Schumacher BTCC Rd4 – Report

This past weekend saw the Schumacher BTCC drivers visit the super fast circuit of Halifax for the fourth round of the championship. As usual on Saturday many drivers turned up to practice, the weather was mixed and there was also the occasional heavy downpour of rain, however due to the temperature it meant that the track would dry very quickly. A few drivers braved the wet conditions but most waited for it to pass. Sunday was a totally different story, everyone woke up to bright sunshine and it would stay for most of the day. In the Modified class Elliott Harper was away at the touring car Euros in Slovakia for this event, however there were still many fast drivers in attendance. It was Olly Jefferies who took three out of the four qualifying rounds to secure himself pole position for the final. Behind Olly it was a very close battle between Chris Grainger and Kyle Branson. With Chris winning the final qualifying round, this meant he would line up 2nd on the grid and Kyle 3rd.
