Jose Teixeirra won the front-wheel drive class in his Bantam Turbo, followed by Louise Steyn with his Volkswagen Caddy.

Robbie Wheelan in his Volkswagen Golf Turbo took the third place.

In die motorcycle division, Johan Oosthuizen with his Suzuki 750 was first and Danie Saaiman also on a Suzuki 750 followed in the second place.

The organisers, Messrs Robbie Wheelan, Jovan Nel, Tiaan Nel and JP Welgemoed thanked all the racers and supporters who made the event a success.
