ULTIMATE SBK<br />
The main class on the day featuring the<br />
fastest riders on the fastest machines in the<br />
land. The Ultimate Superbike class is pretty<br />
much your National SBK category from days<br />
gone by, but without the National status.<br />
2021 saw the introduction of the new<br />
Ultimate SBK class with a 3 <strong>round</strong> sprint<br />
championship setup to see who the Ultimate<br />
SBK rider and machine would be here in SA.<br />
The honours went to Clint Seller on his King<br />
Price Extreme Honda machine and he came<br />
into 2022 with the number 1 plate and a big<br />
target on his back as the man to beat.<br />
Both races lived up to expectation with world<br />
class battles raging throughout. Clint Seller<br />
did take overall honours with both race<br />
wins but behind him the battle for the final<br />
podium spots was epic. AJ Venter, Michael<br />
White, Riccardo Otto and Damion Purificati<br />
put on a great show swapping positions at<br />
almost every corner. Sadly, new BMW rider,<br />
18-year old Ricardo Otto, crashed out of<br />
the battle for the podium in race 1. That left<br />
Venter, White and Purificati to battle it out...<br />
and battle they did!<br />
Seller proved why he is still the man to<br />
beat on his Honda CBR1000RR-R SP while<br />
AJ Venter proved both his and his Suzuki’s<br />
worth by taking second overall for the day<br />
ahead of Michael White on his Aprilia RSV4<br />
1100 Factory.<br />
A great mix of man and machine, with a<br />
very fast lady thrown in the mix. Nicole<br />
van Aswegen, the fastest Mom in the<br />
world, ended up in 4th overall first time<br />
out on her new World of Carbon/BMW<br />
Motorrad S1000RR, setting her fastest time<br />
ever a<strong>round</strong> the RSR track with a 1,55.9.<br />
Sensational!!!<br />
In the 600 Supersport class it was another<br />
King Price Extreme Honda rider taking the<br />
spoils with Leungo Gaorekwe picking up<br />
both wins ahead of Clinton Fourie in 2nd and<br />
Keegan Mills in 3rd. Unfortunately, Ryno<br />
Pretorius crashed out of race one while<br />
mixing it with the big superbikes.<br />
