VAN DER LINDE BLITZES OPPOSITION
KYALAMI: Etienne van der Linde showed he had fully recovered from his horror accident at Midvaal when he blitzed the opposition at Kyalami on Saturday to win both rounds of the NGK Formula GTi Championship.
The two races were mirror images of each other with Van der Linde taking his Swift 92 into the lead from the green light and simply racing away from the opposition to the chequered flag.
Henni Groenewald in the WAP/SKF Swift finished both races in second place providing the strongest challenge to Van der Linde but just unable to get close enough to the young driver to make a pass possible.
Morne Jurgens (Swift 92) simply was not on the pace and had to be content with third place in both races ahead of Barry Ingle (Acme Motori Swift) and Alan Eve (DAW Swift).
Stefan Bosman and Malcolm Cochrane each had a sixth place overall and first in Class B.
Former Formula Ford and Gti Champion Basil Mann had an inauspicious return to racing after a long lay-off, his Riken Electric Swift SF93 suffering with engine problems in both heats.
