And live streaming!

Are the Bailey LMP2 and the Pilbeam MP 100 racing here?

They haven't been recently. Quickest cars have been CN type of things.

I Remember some photos with CN cars, Ferrari 360, Porsche 911, Ginettas, Dodge Viper, BMW, Shelby Cobra, Alfa Romeo GTV, VW Golf, racing here.
I like this mix of cars.
The next year with the GT3 arrive, this car will be the dominators of the scene? or the rules allow big enines in CN like the Wolf V8 of the last 25 hours of Thunderhill? Then have interclass fight.
I would like to see a hand-to-hand fight between GT3 and CN.

Fantastic!!! Thank you for the information

Some big questions still to answer. How many cars? They will be expensive for the locals to buy and run.

But I wish it all the best, of course.

Especially since they just launched a touring car series last year with a turbo-charged version of the Aussie MARC-cars. That one's supposed to be the country's new top level series.

Oh dear. I didn't realise that had happened too. It's a different sort of racing but they are swimming in a small pond.

Cars look good though. http://www.gtcafrica.co.za/raceday-port-elizabeth-2016/

That's what I was thinking.
Having many series with slightly different cars and races is excellent, but there can't be too much overlap with entrants.
To much overlap will lead to reduced grids all round.

Hopefully that doesn't happen here, as this series seems like it's growing steadily.

Mr Mike E: Do you know this car?

Looks like a Shelby Can-Am. A few of them run in the endurance series.

Viper gt3? Is that a new one or maybe a used car?

From where I saw it, it was going to be new to the country/owner, but I'd imagine it'll be pretty dated

It sounds interesting the fight between Aquila-Corvette V8 coupe sports prototype and the fantastic Racing’s Dallara-Renault FR1 — a sports-bodied version of a Formula Renault 3.5 single seater, the next saturday.

Good stuff. Thanks for the reminder. I hope the live stream is reliable.
