Top BMW privateer Michael van Rooyen sits a fine championship fourth ahead of another PE star, Daniel Rowe\u2019s Uitenhage-run Volkswagen and Robert Wolk in the other Sasol BMW. VW Motorsport Golf GTI youngster Keagan Masters meanwhile holds a reasonable advantage over Mini twins Bradley Liebenberg and Devin Robertson in second division GTC2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Road to Indy Investchem South African Formula 1600s also carries a significant dollop of home intrigue as quick PE wildcard Chassen Bright takes it to the regulars aboard his Fuchs Fantastic Mygale. That should spice up an already mouthwatering title tussle with Gauteng racer Nicholas van Weely and Bloemfontein lad Stuart White split by a solitary championship point, while others to watch include Alex Gillespie, Scott Temple, Andrew Schofield, youngsters Siyabonga Mankonkwana and Tiago Rebelo, Class B leader Ian Schofield and another local lad, Garth De Villiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n <b>Close fight: made-in-Uitenhage <\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n <b><br>\n <b>Engen Polo Cup<\/b>\n<\/b><b>\n<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>There\u2019s another close fight in the made-in-Uitenhage Engen Polo Cup, where Jeffrey Kruger holds another slender six-point championship lead over Masters class leader and top racing lady Tasmin Pepper, with Volkswagen Driver Search sensation Jonathan Mogotsi a similar number of points further adrift. Top rookie Keegan Campos sits in a safe fourth ahead of a multi-Polo spat between veteran Shaun La Reservee and young guns Clinton Bezuidenhout, Daniel Duminy and Delon Thompson, among others. <\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<b>\n<p>There will also be two motorcycle races in the Red Square Kawasaki ZX10 Masters, where Graeme van Breda and Sven Grune will continue their fraught championship wrought and the Bridgestone Thunderbikes featuring the likes of legend Lance Isaacs\u2019 BMW.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Access Aldo Scribante off Kyalami Road, Coega \u2014 that\u2019s just off the N2 on the R335 \u2014 tickets are on sale at the gate at R80 per person with under-12s free.
