UNLIMITED SBK
Think of the Unlimited SBK class as the old Northern Regions SBK
championship from days gone by. It’s a class aimed at accomadating those who
are not yet ready to make the leap up to the Ultimate SBK class - the fastest
men and women in the land.
Sixteen hungry riders lined up on the grid for both races, which were hotly
contested from the start to finish. Again, plenty of thrills and a few spills thrown
into the mix, luckily no serious injuries to report.
Honda, BMW, Suzuki, and Yamaha were all well represented, but it was a stock
standard BMW S1000RR (headlights and all) in the hands of Adriaan Van Dalen
who took the overall win holding off the charge from Suzuki mounted Luca
Bertolini - who was lucky to escape a massive crash in race two with no injuries,
which almost saw him land up in Nelspruit.
NPL Nutrition backed Stephen Van Den Berg had a great outing on his gorgeous
R1,5m BMW HP4 Race machine, picking up 3rd overall depite suffering a small
get off in race 1. Armand Veldman would get 4th overall ahead of Divan De Wet
on his stunning new Honda CBR1000RR-R SP.
Other impressive rides came in the form of Loodre Spangenberg, who had not
raced in many moons and was drafted in by the World of Carbon/BMW Motorrad
team last minute as lady rider Zante Otto could not make it due to testing
positive for Covid. Loodre, the workshop manager at BMW Sandton Motorrad,
ended up in 6th spot overall setting some very fast lap times in the process, on
what was a stock BMW S1000RR he shared with yours truly on the day.
Spanish Supersport bound, Peron Parasaramen, on his Yamaha R6 got some
much needed saddle time in and put in some hot laps ahead of the ever
improving Nicho Jonck in 7th and 8th overall respectively.
