The Pro Tour series made the trip down to the coast today giving Capetonians the opportunity to take in some of their action and with our local Clubmans and Gti Challenge racing added to the bill it allowed the visitors the opportunity to take in some of our action.

Hectic end to a great day for Williams
The Williams Formula One team has issued a statement about today’s garage fire in Spain, confirming that four team members were hurt in the incident after the Spanish Grand Prix. The team also thanked other paddock personnel for their help in fighting the fire. The blaze started when a fuel rig appeared to explode not long after Williams driver Pastor Maldonado won the race.
Props to you Jason, what an awesome turnout. Highlight had to be checking out the Pappi Chulow rides, these guys roll in style.

Subaru, Puma, Rallycross and cool a$$ videos
I stopped in at the BMW track day for a bit this morning to capture some of the action before the Formula 1 race got started (congrats to Vettel by the way), which also happened to be before the on track action got started – so no on track photos 
. Great turnout with plenty of E30′s and E36′s though

After a relatively slow start to the day as a result of the greasy conditions things started to get interesting as a few new cars started rolling in. Amongst others where a number of old school Skylines as well as a super fast R32 Skyline, an E46 M3 and 330i. Michael Kayser impressed once again in his champ bakkie running a 10.2s quarter mile by the time I left. Unfortunately there where a number of breakages during the day, notably Bad Brad in his Pro-Fit Golf and defending regional Champion, Brendan Moore. Brendan “Mr Consistency” Moore jumped from his stricken beach buggy into his daily drive, an Opel Corsa UTE, and proceeded to impress by taking the brackets competition. I believe Garion Slamet set a World Record quartermile time for a 750cc bike running a 9.40s (I think) quarter mile time, I’ll update this info as soon as I get confirmation. Be sure to catch the next impressive display of some of the fastest cars in Cape Town at round 3 of our Regional Drag Racing Series on the 1st of May… see you there…
