MOTORING scribes will descend in Cape Town for the GR Cup, presented by TOYOTA GAZOO Racing South Africa.
The weekend’s excitement will kick off with practice sessions on Friday, followed by Qualifying and two race heats on Saturday, for the round 6 battle.
Mark Jones (Citizen), Denis Droppa (TimesLIVE), Setshaba Mashigo (ASAMM), Chad Luckhoff (Auto Trader) and Brendon Staniforth (Maroela Media) gear up for another electrifying showdown on the track.
It goes down at the renowned Killarney International Raceway, Kaapstaad.
The five SA motoring writers will do battle once again, from behind the wheels of their exhilarating Toyota GR86 race cars, as round 6 of the 2023 GR Cup driven by Netstar gets in the way.
Mashigo currently leads the GR Cup standings with an impressive 59 points. His commanding lead of 23 points over second-placed Mark Jones reflects his consistency and remarkable performance throughout the season.
Jones, in turn, holds a mere four-point advantage over Droppa in third place, setting the stage for a fierce battle among the top contenders. With Chad Luckhoff and Brendon Staniforth within striking distance of fourth place, the competition promises to be intense and closely fought.
Toyota SA’s marketing man- Riaan Esterhuysen and Andrew Kirby, the President and CEO of Toyota South Africa Motors, will join in the festivities.
Who will come out tops after Sunday remains to be seen?
