Round four of the South African National Rally Championship is around the corner and Team NAD is ready to take this seasonal mid-point head on! The Volkswagen Rally is set to take place on the 11th and 12th of July in the Eastern Cape. Japie van Niekerk and co-driver Gerhard Snyman achieved a 5th overall at the PMC rally in Gauteng and Team NAD now stands in 8th place in the National Rally Championship.
The rally will spin off at the Auto Pavilion in Uitenhage on Friday the 11th of July and end with a new final stage on Saturday the 12th of July at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium. The rally will consist of 15 special stages which includes four exciting new stages. This year there will also be a few evening stages in Jeffrey’s Bay, as well as a Super Special Stage with a bridge and a crossover which should be extremely thrilling for all rally spectators.
“We are very excited to see the new stages for this rally! We are also looking forward to the special and night stages. Team NAD has had some experience with night stages at the Total Tara rally in Namibia,” comments Snyman. “We are always excited about new challenges and we are also keen to participate with international visitors: Hans Weijs Jnr (Holland), Bjorn Degandt (Belguim), Raimund Baumschlager (Austria) and Klaus Wicha (Germany). Team NAD will see you next week in the Eastern Cape!”
