Platt bids for Epic win number five

Recommended Posts

“There is only one gas and that’s full gas,” laughs Karl Platt about the way he will be approaching the 2015 Absa Cape Epic. “I want to win it if possible.” His Team Bulls partner Urs Huber is also making no bones about their objective: “After a lot of bad luck last year we are coming to win it this year.”

I will certainly be cheering for Karl. He is a top bloke.

Absolutely. . My favourite.

 

Will be an interesting battle once again.

With the form Sahm currently has I am thinking Huber and Sahm might have better chance than Huber and Platt

Platt and Huber keeping their form secret this yr.

I love it how so many people don't win because of bad luck??

 

the guy crashed because of bad luck or operator error??

might as well say i won't win this year's epic because of bad luck(didn't win a lottery entry)

I think at the front end of racing a lot of risks get taken for a little bit of a time advantage, therefore at times that extra risk can lead to a nasty fall.. or bad landing.. this is what happened to Platt last yr. . But that's racing hey.. lady luck can sometimes let you down or smile on you when a competitor gets a mechanical. . Look at all the mechanicals Sauser had last yr, was it poor equipment choice (sacrificing reliability for a couple of grams of weight saving) or just plain bad luck.

Am I mistaken or not, but cant find Sahm's name on the Epic list.....

if you read the article sahm won't be doing backup this year, it will be stiebjahn & boehme. But who Knows he might do a "late entry"

Sahm is on top form, Attakwas and Tankwa. Really hope to see him at the Epic, mix things up a bit, quite a bit......
