Hi Guys, 🏎

Hope you guys are keeping warm in this weather. We had a very eventful weekend of racing at Zwartkops raceway. Herewith the results of the third round of the 2025 Dunlop V8 Supercars championship:

Qualifying:
* Ben Morgenrood - Set the quickest time in his Ford Mustang for the GTX class
* Thomas Reib - 3rd place
* Franco Di Matteo - 4th place
* Warren Lombard - 5th place
* Richard Fuller - 6th place

1st Race (GT1 Class):
* 2nd Place - Thomas Reib
* 3rd Place - Franco Di Matteo
Unfortunately, both Warren Lombard and Richard Fuller had steering and braking problems that caused them difficulties during the first race.

2nd Race (GT1 Class):
* 1st Place - Warren Lombard
* 2nd Place - Thomas Reib
* 3rd Place - Franco Di Matteo
* 4th Place - Richard Fuller

Overall for the day (GT Class):
* 1st Place - Thomas Reib
* 2nd Place - Franco Di Matteo

Well done to all the GWR clients. We look forward to the next race taking place on the 27th & 28th of June at Red Star Raceway.
