One thing having arguably the strongest partner , but you still got to push out the watts and handle the technical at max speed and race on the limit . That doesn't just happen by osmosis from your partner .How many other teams have had days of falling way behind cos one partner can't keep up . I reckon Grotts racing like a championI also think Grotts is doing amazing. I chuckle every time I see them on the podium....Grotts not sure if he can put his hand around Koolharvey,,,very funny!

Annika only knows one way...total dominance

Annika only knows one way...total dominance I feel quite sorry for the youngsters in the two leading teams. They are being pushed beyond their usual limits but to their credit have kept it together brilliantly. Seems that Spaz are good at nurturing talent and putting the right people together. The same can't be said for the Spur debacle. Poor Githa just about killed herself in a race she was woefully unprepared for. Eish.

RocknRolla Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 Can Gerald De Kock practice to say Langvad with a D at the end? Schooled by Escapee.
