I'm meant to be going to Joburg next month for 5 weeks with work, i can't see that happening though, it clashes with a weekend on the lash in london :thumbsup:

Seriously though i went over for 3 days last week for a meeting and the taxi driver shat his pants when the lights turned red :confused:

Not really the place i would want to be carrying around expensive equipment :thumbdown:

I also agree that if one big team ie AE decide not to go then it has a knock on effect, as why would other teams justify the expense if the "best" drivers in the world are not turning up? You can't say you have the best product if your the only one there.

For me the teams/competitiors have made the correct decision ;)

Found some info about the worlds from an Australian who seems to be setting the pace...

Yeah, info/results don't seem to be that readily available... not compared to the euro's anyway!

Well at the Euros in England this year there was about 80 drivers.

I think I have been sleeping? Where is everybody? UK boys.

sparrow.2 06-10-2009 06:16 PM

It's a bit of a shame really. Looks like the guys down there went to quite some trouble to provide a nice looking track and rostrum.

Even more sad when you know south african hospitality...

That said I've been to Pretoria and wouldn't want to really spend more time there than whatever time it takes to drive through as fast as I could :eh?:

fabolousRC 06-10-2009 09:48 PM

Gee...I was thinking of going there as an independent entry and with this such a low list of drivers, I could've placed at least in the Top 20 yea? :lol::lol::lol:

sparrow.2 07-10-2009 09:52 AM

bondy 07-10-2009 12:20 PM

Martin Achter strikes back in A2 with the win. Craig Laughten who wins the A1 came in 3rd i think! Martins run was faster than Craigs, so he had the lead now!

cheers

Eimer 07-10-2009 01:51 PM

Martin Achter wins A3 and is new IFMAR EP Champion. Is he the 1st from Germany? 2nd Craig Laughten from Australia!

cheers
