MRW Issue 33

Unlimited 1000s
The Unlimited 1000s saw Kyran de Lange take Pole
Position with a 1.49.387, on a road BMW S1000RR,
indicators and all. Luca Bertolini took second with Tiaan
Fouche in third, Tristan Mathews in fourth, and Tieme
Nankervis in fifth. Lady rider Mo Mahope wouldn’t take
part in Saturday’s action as she crashed during Friday’s
practice and her BMW couldn’t be repaired in time.
Race 1 saw Kyran de Lange improve his lap time to
a 1.48.9, mixing it with the Ultimate 1000 riders and
taking victory over Bertolini by over 4 seconds. Fouche
took third ahead of Nankervis in fourth who had a good
battle with Mathews in fifth.
Race 2 was all about de Lange again ahead of Bertolini
and Nankervis, with Mathews in fourth. Unfortunately,
Fouche couldn’t get his R1 started before the race and
therefore didn’t start the race.
Ultimate 1000 Superbikes
Marius Lloyd Racing rider Morne Geldenhuis took Pole
in the Ultimate 1000 Superbike Class with a 1.46.303
ahead of team mate Adolf Boshoff in second, Michael
White on his Yamaha R1 in third, Damion Purificati on
his BMW in fourth, AD van Dalen in fifth, defending
champion Clinton Seller in sixth and lady rider Nicole
van Aswegen in seventh.
Race 1 was a close affair but eventually won by
defending champion Clinton Seller on his King Price
Xtreme Honda, ahead of Geldenhuis, White, Purificati,
van Dalen, and van Aswegen who set her PB lap time of
a 1.49.508. Unfortunately, Boshoff had a huge high side
while exiting turn 1 and a nasty crash forced him out of
the race.
Race 2 was a tricky one. The race was red-flagged
after Seller had a huge crash coming out of Wesbank,
going down the mineshaft, forcing the marshalls to redflag
the race. This created a little bit of confusion with
regards to the results which will be announced ASAP.
The next race of the MRSSA will be held at Redstar
Raceway out in Delmas on the 18th-19th of August. See
you all there!!!
