Mr. Consistent Peter Pilusa from Tzaneen with navigator Willem Morgan enjoyed another trouble free run in their ultra reliable Nissan Sentra.
A third in class C and 13th overall was a just reward for this pairing. Pilusa would like to thank TVR Panel Beaters, BF Petroleum and Midas Tzaneen for their support. Twenty nine of the original 38 starters made it to the finish at the Aintree Lodge which also hosted the prize giving function.
The final round of the championship takes place on February 22 and 23, 2019.
