I'm meant to be going to Joburg next month for 5 weeks with work, i can't see that happening though, it clashes with a weekend on the lash in london

Seriously though i went over for 3 days last week for a meeting and the taxi driver shat his pants when the lights turned red

Not really the place i would want to be carrying around expensive equipment

I also agree that if one big team ie AE decide not to go then it has a knock on effect, as why would other teams justify the expense if the "best" drivers in the world are not turning up? You can't say you have the best product if your the only one there.

For me the teams/competitiors have made the correct decision

It's a bit of a shame really. Looks like the guys down there went to quite some trouble to provide a nice looking track and rostrum.

Even more sad when you know south african hospitality...

That said I've been to Pretoria and wouldn't want to really spend more time there than whatever time it takes to drive through as fast as I could

Gee...I was thinking of going there as an independent entry and with this such a low list of drivers, I could've placed at least in the Top 20 yea?

Martin Achter strikes back in A2 with the win. Craig Laughten who wins the A1 came in 3rd i think! Martins run was faster than Craigs, so he had the lead now!

cheers
