Toyota GR Cup strun

The four -time British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) Champion Win Percy probably presented it the best summarizing when talking about the series in a documentary with Broadcaster ITV in 2014.

“Sad Tutrath, a lot of people go to see accidents (motor racing events), This is terrible but it is true. For many people, if it is a boring race because someone has operated very well, but there Is There is no incident, if there is an accident, they do not enjoy it ”.

While Round Four of the Toyota GR Cup cannot be seen with the previous few panels in the Zwartkops Raceway outside Pretoria in the last weekend, which is the characteristic of BTCC, it is still in the hottest weekend of the season.

Largest grid ever

Similar to BTCC’s super touring era, half of this year’s championship took the largest area of ​​GRS to the grid.

Kayalami is believed to have been excluded from service after two rounds, four of the manual GR Yaris were brought back, a campaign was carried out by three dealers and one by one GR Academy.

Therefore, this meant that 25 GR Yaris, GR Corolus and four of the GR 86G GR Cup were present for four of the Cup, most of any discipline was set to move forward if it should be true if the pitlane should be true to hum.

This means a huge grid and, like BTCC, in its successor, prone to some unavoidable scratches, which were still in minority.

A track that respects warrant

After a good start for the new eight-speed direct automatic transmission (DAT) Gr Yaris in the final round at ALDO Scribante, my expectations for zwartkops were very low in the weeks to the event.

In addition to the learning process to know the car, any perceived benefits were zero as our shakedown for the GR Cup in March was with manual GR Yaris.

Easily adding by DAT, it will come down to skills to master a circuit, which is compact and small at 2.4 km, is worthy of respect for being correct.

In addition to fast turn one and tight turn to hairpin, backstrag in turn four rarely recalls the opportunity to catch those who do it wrong.

Return it, the hill run the hill to turn to turn to and six pass Toyota GR headquarters where all officers were seated – the biggest sign or the biggest sign of not closing the panel.

From there, the hill pass the run the hill passes seven and then replaces eight hairpins, comes with its challenge – later the drivers are prone to the gravel to look at the gravel, or mainly straighten to see the drivers spin to see very fast.

Practice

Setting for practice, the same decrease of feeling with yaris experienced in scribe, but also disappeared even in cold running temperatures.

Getting confidence, I managed to determine the time of 1.14.6 after the first session. However, I knew that I could still go fast.

Of course, this means that the bravery formation and some risk, which, in the half way of the second session, saw the magnetizing effect of four turns in front of the yaris during the rear slide.

Thinking that eventually, literally, would come around, I also remained calm because the interruptions inside came to a close at any time.

Eventually, only a half spin was executed, but there is no need to say, my confidence was shattered, the car did not help go into lame mode because I tried to start a new lap.

It was not all lost, however, and apart from no harm, I still improved in my best time.

The same result was found in a large-scale clean third session, but with two-tenth profit on my best run.

Ability

Get qualifying, and after tolerating anything, but a good night’s comfort, the veins were at an all -time high level.

Unlike Scribante, there was no need to worry about zwartkops, which was beak our dunlop deyrza rubber for bits. The biggest issue, however, was going to happen.

As a way to overcome this, the area was divided into two, avoiding any possible warm moments and allegations of interrupting each other.

Going out as part of the second group, I tried to be as fast as faster and smooth without spinning or turning from the window. citizenA GR Yaris in a GR Yaris Cross.

Using the intercoller sprayer that is active on the full throttle, tumbles my lap time and eventually came within my set target under 1.14.

My enthusiasm disappeared soon, however, as I realized that my time of 1.13.9 was about three-tenth slower than my staunch opponent, Iol/independentVillam Van de Putte.

Accessible and anything pleased, the goal was a familiar to the race one-go ahead and try to put a latch with fourth place Car magazine Yaris of Kyle Cock.

Although I had to start directly behind Wilm, my immediate goal was starting in the opposite direction of Rola Yaris of Andrees de Villiers.

Along with Kilmani, the first two corners of Toyota will be in a position of yellow flags to avoid potentially large -scale accidents of Toyota, which smash in each other or at once.

Race 1

Out of the rolling start and once out of turn two, I migrated a proper migration, but simply Rola could not make a challenge on the car ahead.

My expectations ended with de Villiers and Van Der Putte, trying to try my most difficult attempts, when a bad exhaust out of turn to ended with a trip over the oversteest and gravel.

Remembering the outside wall, my race is over because I saw IOL And Rola flew almost in Yaris’s last lap.

A race is best sloppy and with a lot of off-road undertakings, in addition to Turn to Missap, I knew that I had blowing up my weekend and there was no possibility of getting closer to it. AutotraderLawrence Minni, who is fourth in the championship ahead of me.

Below, I came to know that my best time, however, was enough to put me ahead of Wilm for Race Two.

Race 2

As the lights came out, IOL Yaris had to jump once again, but this time, I also found myself to struggle with the Hafway village Korola starting in half the way of improvement in Kevin Krohi.

The halfway man moved forward to pass me soon, but even after beating Wilem, we became unstable with going to the hill.

Duck and dip behind pink IOL Yaris, one of the good exit in Turn Four saw me taking a deep breath and diving in front of the Toyota headquarters, using passing lines.

At the same time, I also beat Crowe, who had gone very deep and gravel, left behind Wilm.

It was not finished, however, and after a mistake that widely saw me, Wilem withdrew my fifth position, but not for a long time.

After losing a position for Theo Britt’s NMI GR Corolla, de Villiers found himself in front of the van der put at the beginning of Lap Four.

Unavoidable when Wilm’s attempt to pass turn two saw Rola Yaris in touch IOL Man.

There was a great view, evasive driving as Kevin was required and I took the gravel in front of us to escape the drama.

With my nearest rival, and in my mirrors, the Corolla Big, the concentration needed to score another fifth place.

This almost ended because I entered eight very fast with two laps and finished with two laps to go and ended on gravel, yet with Kevin behind me.

Out of NMI entry but out of a well -striking range, I entered my last lap twice Car magazine Yaris and then Autotrader Entering slowly after an incident in hairpin.

Despite knowing what happened, despite knowing what happened, I crossed the line to finish third behind the race winner and championship leader, Nail Abdul ().Supersport), And phuti mpyane (Timeslev,

As it happened, however, Lawrence nursed his yaris across the line and did enough in joint overall results to finish third, based on his third place finish in Race One and My Sixth.

This meant that, despite finishing the third on-track, my overall results for the day saw me in fourth place over 21: 04: 724 vs. Autotrader Man’s 20: 56: 543.

next….

As much as Luck played his role in my third -place Finnish, Omen could not come to a better time as the next round head of the East London Grand Prix Circuit on 19 July for the fastest and most scary track in South Africa.
