The annual Subaru vs Audi club skid pan challenge was held on Saturday 21st August at the bright and sunny Zwartkops raceway skidpan
With 20 cars from each Club ready to take on the challenge of understeer, brain fade and those little orange cones that seem to run away every time you drive a car at them.
Audi had arrived with a new timing device that made life a lot easier and far more accurate than the old stopwatch way.
Competition started around 1:30pm with a rather more difficult layout than expected by most.
After the first runs were complete it soon became obvious that slow and steady will win over fast and furious!
With penalties being added for wrong route, missed cones and killed Eric’s (aka cones) the driver who paid the most attention was going to win!
Second round was the same route as the first, allowing drivers to go a little quicker and make up lost time.
Competition was close from the start and both teams had the intention of winning no matter what the cost.
The third run was a simple task of 3 loops. This allowed some time to show off some speed and good driving techniques by all concerned.
By 5pm all was said and done only leaving the time keepers to tally up and come to a decision on who won!
And the winners for this round are …………..SOCSA!!!!!!! by just over 1 minute.
A big thanks to the Audi Club on there sportsmanship! We will be back again soon for another chance!
