SARL rF Series Champion - Summer 2008

Reporter: Dewald Batt

Some say his teeth glow in the dark, and that if you tune your radio to 88.4 FM you can actually hear his thoughts. All we know is, he’s called Marc van Niekerk.
Yes folks, The Crocodile finally managed to get his grubby hands on a SARL championship trophy.
Nobody knows how he managed such a feat, but he assures us that no artificial methods were used in the process.

The season started off with a bang as two youngsters in the form of Team McColl decided to trade in their toys and ruffle some feathers amongst the big boys of local sim-racing. At first they had it all their way, but resident crony, Marc van Niekerk had had enough and decided to leave the comfort of the old-age-home to "show these youngsters how it's done".

With 4 impressive victories and consistant podium finishes, he managed to stay one step ahead of the competition and wrap up an impressive season, much to the delight of his regular Thursday night Bingo group.
Second place in the championship belonged to veteran, Dewald Batt, who managed to worm his way into the runner-up spot with a few(rumoured) dubious admin rulings and a near perfect attendance record.
Team McColl didn't go home empty handed however as older half, Ratang managed an impressive 3rd place finish in his debut season.

The season also had it's fair share of new faces stepping onto the grid for the first time, most of them in awe of resident alien, Zaahir Essa's impromptu visits to earth.
Thanks to everyone involved and cya all next season!
