The inaugural Vryheid 400, Round 2 of the extremely competitive South African Rally-Raid Championship (SARRC) held in the northern KwaZulu-Natal farming town on 24 and 25 May, delivered on its promise of providing a tough but exciting challenge for competitors. However, this new event, which was sponsored by PS Laser Promac, delivered mixed fortunes for the Neil Woolridge Motorsport (NWM) Rally-Raid Team which looked set for top results, and came tantalisingly close to scoring a podium finish.
