These were taken at the Pretoria regional races ... The calender now has a races every month for the series. It was held at the very popular Zwartkops Raceway.

I dont want to include too many photos, but here is a selection from the particularly pleasant autumn raceday.

In the regional championship for the really serious racers.

600Supersport

Superbikes - Here the guys who step up to the National series or are already competing in the national series. I took this photo on the opening lap on the last corner before the pit straight. This BMW rider was determined to take the lead here, and slid right into the corner to do so.

Other classes include Formula Extreme anf BoTTs (Battle of the Twins). These are purely regional classes.
