Potchefstroom’s very own racing driver, Marlie Saaiman, will be gearing up for the (Womza)World of Motorsport ZA Tar Oval National Championships to be held at the Richards Bay Hotrod Club on 1 May. The young racing driver will be participating in the Kids In Racing SA category Ninja Karts ages 6 -12, racing her 60cc powered Comer motor and kart against 15 other racing drivers for the national championship status.

Marlie, better known as Blondie, has managed to achieve SA 3 status in previous national championships and has her eyes set on the ultimate SA 1 status this year.

Marlie has a very busy racing schedule ahead of her. The following weekend (7 May), she will be racing at The Ultimate Raceway in Vereeniging and then again at The Rock Raceway Circuit in Brakpan on 14 May.

In the past two oval events, Marlie managed to collect 2nd places for oval track racing and, last weekend, Marlie took 3rd place in the (SA4KC) South African 4 Stroke Karting Club event held at The Rock Raceway.

Fans and supporters can collect autographed signed posters from Marlie at all the racing events. We wish her a happy, speedy and safe events ahead and good luck for the big national event in the Bay.
