SUMMARY:South African Cross Country Moto Round 3
DESCRIPTION:It’s all to play for as the Trademore South African Cross Country Championship limbers up to its annual desert race at Excelsior Farm at Ganyesa north of Vryburg this weekend. Davin Cocker’s OR2 Husqvarna and OR1 KTM rider Bradley Cox arrive in the Northwest tied in the championship lead\, but under pressure from Seniors’ sensation Kerim Fitz-Gerald and his KTM\, and Honda rider Michael Pentecost.\n\n\n\n\n\nOR2 man Scott Heygate sits sixth in the overall title chase on his KTM\, ahead of OR3 leaders\, Honda lads Haydn Cole and Erik Merry. Second OR1 man\, Gareth Cole is next up on his Honda from High School leader Luke Walker\, and OR3 riders\, Kawasaki lad Wian Wentzel\, and Ryan Pelser’s Husqvarna. Pieter Holl leads Masters for Kawasaki\, while Murray Smith tops the Junior pops on his Husqvarna.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe opening two races saw a typical Gauteng route at the Legends opener before a far more technical challenge at Jolivet in KZN. Pending dry conditions\, Ganyesa brings a different challenge in the Kalahari semi-desert. That said\, freezing and wet conditions wreaked havoc in last year’s race there\, so anything can still happen\n\n\n\n\n\nIt’s between Bradley Cox on his Brother Leader Tread KTM and Michael Pentecost in open class 450cc OR1. They will have the closest attentions of Honda trio\, Pentecost’s Franchise Co Tork Craft teammate Gareth Cole\, Ian Rall\, and Hayden Louw. Factory Husqvarna racer Davin Cocker is the 350cc OR2 man to beat with two wins in two races so far. Scott Heygate\, fellow KTM riders Kyle Eggar\, sister Leah Heygate\, Juan Niebuhr\, and Teak Harrower on a GasGas will present his toughest opposition.\n\n\n\n\n\nKerim Fitz-Gerald has been in sensational Seniors’ form on his KTM this season\, as his overall championship third suggests. But he has Honda duo\, comeback king Louwrens Mahoney and Wynand Delport\, Marco Cocci on a Yamaha and the late starting 2022 champion Kenny Gilbert’s Kawasaki on his case. Masters has been all about Pieter Holl and his Kawasaki in 2023\, but Mielies Le Roux on a KTM\, Husqvarna rider Wayne Farmer and Brian Bontekoning’s Kawasaki\, among others\, will have other ideas.\n\n\n\n\n\nLuke Walker leads Thomas Scales’ similar KTM in the 125 cc high school chase. They have Sherco duo\, Daniel Peckham and Blake Young\, KTM trio Brandon Clarke\, Rory Donaldson and Nathan Westerdale\, and Derek Karam on a Yamaha to cope with too. Murray Smith leads the 85 Junior chase on his Franchise Co Tork Craft Husqvarna from Franco Fourie’s KTM\, Corbin Muller’s Husqvarna and KTM kids Mackenzie Bam and Drikus van der Merwe.\n\n\n\n\n\nGJ Coetzee is the 65 cc lad to beat on his Husqvarna\, which is precisely what KTM gang Zach Wichmann\, Cambeul du Preez and Joshua Fotheringham\, Matthew Meyer on a GasGas\, and Wilco du Plooy’s Yamaha intend to do. Honda arrives at Ganyesa in the 2023 Trademore South African Cross Country Manufacturers Championship lead just 10 points clear of KTM\, with Husqvarna fighting Kawasaki for third ahead of Sherco\, Yamaha and GasGas.

SUMMARY:2023 WRC Safari Rally Kenya
DESCRIPTION:Challenge\n\nMechanical sympathy. Some sections are so rocky they must be tackled at little more than walking pace. Drivers must resist the temptation to treat the Safari like a normal gravel event.\nHeavy rain brings an additional challenge to an already gruelling rally. Few will have come across the deep water and unbelievably slippery mud that can replace dusty roads in a matter of minutes.\nExpect the unexpected. In Kenya\, anything can happen!\n\n  \nCar spec\n\nGravel suspension.\nThe ride height will be lifted above the norm for a traditional gravel event to allow for the rocky roads.\nPirelli’s hard and soft compound Scorpion tyres available.\n\nEvent History\n\nThe Safari Rally was first held in 1953\, as the East African Coronation Safari in Kenya\, Uganda and Tanganyika as a celebration of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.\nIn 1960 it was renamed the East African Safari Rally and kept that name until 1974\, when it became the Kenya Safari Rally.\nHeld on roads still open to the public\, it became notorious as the toughest round of the WRC. Arduous conditions and constantly changing weather and more than 5000 competitive kilometres made simply finishing an achievement.\nThe event adopted a special stage format in 1996 and from then until 2002\, it featured over 1000km of timed tests. The rally left the WRC in 2002 and returned in 2021.\nKenya’s Shekhar Mehta tops the Safari’s WRC roll of honour with five wins.
