The 2024 Inland Extreme Festival series was concluded in fine style at the Zwartkops Raceway near Pretoria on Saturday, with six category champions emerging from a day of spectacular motorsport.

The first BMW ///M Performance Parts race went to Ryan Naicker (Fast Development BMW E92 M3 Turbo), ahead of Leon Loubser (Monaco BMW E92 335i), Rob Neill (Delmon Mining BMW M3 Turbo) and Andreias Meier (#CEC BMW 320 Turbo).

Race two was won by Neill, followed by Loubser, Nek Makris (BMW E92 335i) and Renier Smith (Fast Development BMW E36 M3 Turbo).

Fifth overall and second in Class B clinched the year’s overall championship for Renier Smith.

Bevin Masters (CPS Warehouse Polo) beat his brother Wayne Masters (Performance Master) to the opening PABAR VW Challenge victory by two-tenths of a second.

They were followed over the line by Jayden Goosen (Ferro Energia Polo) and Mike Baraglia (Pabar Polo).

The second race, held in rain, saw Wayne Masters win ahead of Bjorn Bertholdt (Sizanani Polo), Bevin Masters and Goosen.

Meanwhile, respective second and third Class B places in the two heats were enough to crown Stuart Mack (Creation Wealth Polo) as the season’s overall champion.

The first Ferro Energia 111/GT Sports and Saloon Car race went to George Economides (Wealth Avenue VW Monster), ahead of Philip Meyer (Swiss Hotel School Porsche 924), Dawie Olivier (International Race Supplies BMW E30) and Melanie Spurr (Car Care Clinic VW GTI).

Economides, Meyer and Olivier again filled the podium in race two, this time followed by Wayne Robb (Ford Focus ST).

Meanwhile, two Class C victories were enough to crown Wouter Roos (Car Care Clinic Polo) as the year’s overall champion.

Warren Lombard (Pepboys Automotive Mustang) won the first Mobil 1 V8 Supercar race ahead of Thomas Reib (Mobil 1 Chev Lumina), Julian Familiaris (Lube-Net Corvette) and Franco di Matteo (Jaguar XKR).

 Familiaris won race two, clinching the season’s overall title. He was followed by Lombard, Di Matteo and Reib.

The opening DOE Formula Vee race was red-flagged after Johan Gouws (Arcanjo Rhema) and Shaun van der Linde (Truck City Rhema) tried to claim the same piece of tarmac through the ultra-fast Turn 4.

A huge crash left pieces of single-seater all over the place, luckily without severe injuries to either driver. 

After the restart Jaco Schriks (Rhema) won the race from Lendl Jansen (Bull Security Rhema) MD Bester (Mangaza Rhema) and Kyle Watt (Mangaza Rhema).

Jansen’s second place was enough to clinch the year’s championship title.

Race two went to Schriks, leading home MD Bester (Mangazi Rhema), Kyle Watt (Mangazi Rhema) and newly crowned champion Lendl Jansen.
