Behind Groenewald is a three way fight between one of the racing Auby family, Mark (Jonnesway Jaguar) who has not had a win this season, but has 144 points, Robert Briggs (Team Timken Jaguar) who with two wins is level on points with veteran Willie Hepburn (Project Orange Corvette).  Hepburn who has one win and is having second thoughts about retiring after this race.  These drivers have been slugging it out all year at high speed with door handle to door handle racing.  Kyalami will be no different. 

Also coming into this fight is South Africa’s fastest 16 year old bar none - Brandon Auby (Masana Petroleum Jaguar) who with has picked up thirty six points at the last two meetings at Zwartkops where he won and in Port Elizabeth.  Eight of the eighteen races so far have seen Brandon retire with mechanical maladies which now seems to be over. 

The third member of the Team Timken Team, Richard Pinnard has enjoyed the best success of his career.  He is almost safe in fifth spot overall to give the all powerful Team Timken trio first, second and fifth on the championship points table. 

A reversed starting grid in the second race brings other competitors to light as drivers who finish high up in the first race start at the back of the grid.  They have to show their skills getting past 20 cars to the front.  It is not easy to do particularly at Kyalami.  

Deon Auby (Meta Forge Holden) is the highest points scorer of the racing fathers. There are three of them in the field – Wilford, Auby and Gutzeit.  Auby has to watch his back as he has the racing Correira brothers, Jaco and Danie in their Omega Spares Welkom Corvette plus another veteran Franco de Matteo (Optima Batteries Jaguar) closing in.  They are all quick. 

Larry Wilford (Fuchs Lubricants Mustang) got into racing late this year and started to make serious progress.  A couple of DNF’s set back his chances of finishing high up on the leader board.  Two good results on Saturday could see him move up three places in the championship.  Larry’s son Terry Wilford (Fuchs Lubricants Jaguar), the 2006 GT2 Champion will also be in the line up at this final meeting.  He has missed a few meetings this year, but when he does compete he always finishes in the points. 

Six non-finishes also set back former champion Roelf du Plessis (Venter Motors Lumina SS).  He could provide a big surprise at Kyalami. 

East London’s Wade van Zummeren (Border Towing Mustang) and Darron Gudmanz (Crazy J’s Corvette) always give a good account of themselves when they are mobile. 

Des Gutzeit (Dezzi Trysome Mustang) always does well at Kyalami and Saturday should not be any exception. 

Breaking news is that former Wesbank Champion, Ben Morgenoord out of the V8 Formula for a few years is back for the last meeting of the season.  He has been keeping his eye in by winning the Class B Production Car Championship in his Mazda Rotary and racing his Trans Am Mustang in the Historic Racing. 

Bjorn Roos (SP Racing Jaguar,) a former South African Karting Champion has gathered thirteen points in just three race meetings - a good start in this sort of competition.   

Lady racer Clare Vale (Gatorback Ram) is now a regular points scorer after a nervous start to the season.  She finished fourth overall at Port Elizabeth and was awarded her first Wesbank trophy.

New to the series is Niel Harmse.
