he penultimate round of the 2023 South African Rally-Raid Championship takes place in the Free State town of Welkom this weekend and the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing teams are fighting for the top spot.
The penultimate round of the 2023 South African Rally-Raid Championship takes place in the Free State town of Welkom this weekend, and TOYOTA GAZOO Racing SA’s Henk Lategan, partnered with Brett Cummings as co-driver, arrive at the event trailing the championship leader by 3 points.
But Lategan/Cummings fought back at the first of the Parys 400’s two races, scoring maximum points, only to slip down the order during the second of the weekend’s races. This means that the TGRSA pairing find themselves with 116 points in the bank, versus the 119 scored by Woolridge, with two rounds to go. The first of these is the Welkom 400, which takes place on Friday and Saturday this weekend.
