WesBank V8 Supercars to light up Zwartkops Raceway

The WesBank V8 Supercars travel to “ The Big Z” on the 11th of September for the SASOL Race Day, Round 6 of this year's WesBank Super Series.

After dominating the last round at Phakisa with pole position and two race wins, Brandon Auby (ELT International/SKF Bearings Jaguar) enjoys a comfortable 29 point lead in the Super GT Class. Jaco Correia (Liqui Moly Corvette) lies second on the table, but the Welkom star is still feeling the after effects of his horrific crash in Heat 2 of Round 5, and has entered the Zwartkops round pending medical permission. Deon Auby (ELT International/SKF Bearings Jaguar) lies third on the Championship table, a single point behind Jaco, and after two solid and trouble free third places in the Free State, looks set to slot in behind Brandon in the title race, with just four rounds to go.

Franco di Matteo (Varta Batteries Jaguar) also has designs on improving his position in the Championship, and should be a front runner at Zwartkops. Jaco's younger brother Danie Correia (Liqui Moly Corvette) will hope to thwart their efforts, as he tries to protect his sibling's position during his return to full fitness. After his first win at Kyalami in May, and a strong showing in front of his home crowd at the last round, Danie will fancy his chances at the tight and twisty Pretoria West venue. read more >>
