A double pole and a podium in race 1 saw the team have its best weekend of the season so far.
Round 3 of the Engen VW Cup championship took place at the Aldo Scribante track in Port Elizabeth and the team was ready for the challenge.

Race 1
Both Mark and du Toit made good starts leaving Mark in 2nd place down the back straight. Mark not able to push du Toit and it stayed like this until the safety car came out on lap 3. At the restart the lack of power saw Brett Garland and Andre de Lange surge past relegating...
