Hi all
![]() As South African's who love motorsport and seeing out country men competing at the top level Brands Hatch was a brilliant event to attend and support our country. Was at my 1st race meet ever and was so excited to see a South African team compete. So happy to see my national flag and support of Nelson Mandela (his prison number '46664' posted all around the circuit and on our team’s car.) I sat directly opposite our teams pit garage and they were so meticulous and professional. I felt really proud! Our car looked great and really stood out (NZ and GB cars as well ![]() Brilliant!!!! I've been to two F1 events this year and that would never ever happen!!! The different nationalities and personalities really made it a world event. Met so many ppl from all over the globe and tons of South Africans (most of them queuing at the bar!) so happy to see a fellow citizen. In terms of emotion and socializing F1 and A1 are worlds apart! Good on ye A1!!! ![]() Racing was excellent (despite not that much overtaking) and a high quality of skill was on display. Team SA had an unfortunate incident on lap 1 with Jos Verstappen and lost 2 laps but fought back well, lapping just 2 tenths slower per lap than the awesome Piquet! Race 2 showed our real talent with Stephen coming from 25th to finish 6th! WOW! All in all a good day for our beloved SA and much much better things to come im sure. Keep the passion! |
