The fifth round of the 2021 Global Touring Cars and GTC SupaCup championships will take place at Red Star Raceway this coming weekend .
Robert Wolk and Brad Liebenberg head up the respective points tables, but with both championships poised on a knife-edge, the tables could easily be turned on the weekend. This will also be the first time that the category's races will take place on the anti-clockwise layout of the circuit, situated outside Delmas. Round 5 also marks the return to the inland venues after two consecutive coastal visits for the category.
Given that the anti-clockwise circuit orientation will be new to everyone, he will be in a good position to take a step to the top, given his ability to master new circuits rapidly. Jason Campos became only the second driver this season to take more than one race victory. A repeat of his qualifying pace could see him edge closer to the battle for third place. He currently has 92 points next to his name.
Round 4's two newcomers Samuel Hammond and Nicky Dicks , scored four and two points, respectively and will both be eager to find themselves in contention for more points. There are three drivers scheduled to make their debut this coming weekend. Stefan Snyders will be eager to put his new Volkswagen Supa Polo through its paces while there is also a driver change in the Turn 1 Insurance Campos Racing Camp. Volkswagen Polo Cup regular Keegan Campos will take up the seat vacated by Rui Campos.
Saturday's two races will both run over a 10-lap distance and are scheduled for 11:30 and 14:15. The prohibition on the in-person attendance of spectators at sporting events remain in place. Still, all of Saturday's races will be streamed live via the Global Touring Cars Facebook page and the 2Wheels YouTube channel.
