Three cars in the top ten and a 1-2-3-4 Adventure rout

Red-Lined Motorsport starred with three cars in the top ten and a 1-2-3-4 clean sweep in the T1 Adventure class on its first visit to the all-new second round South African Rally-Raid Championship Vryheid 400 in northern KwaZulu-Natal over the weekend. 

In a race of attrition, all four factory cars entered, finished the race as Chris Visser and Albertus Venter romped to an impressive fifth overall and best of the non-major motor manufacturer team entries in only the all-new Red-Lined REVO T1+ GT-R’s second national outing. Dutch gentleman driver Rients Hofstra and local lad Wade Harris were ninth overall in another brand new REVO T1+ GTR on debut, ahead of FIA T1 Adventure class winners, Johan de Bruyn and Adriaan Roets’ Falken Tyres REVO T1 in tenth.

They led a Red-Lined T1 rout with Rudi and Gerhard Heinlein’s Sirkel N VK56 second from Philip Botha and Gerhard Schutte’s Penta Motor Group VK56 and Daniel Schroder and Ryan Bland fourth in their PS Laser VK50. Another amateur crew Dave Klaassen and Tessa Rooth followed in their DaklaPack Rallysport REVO T1+ GTR.

“Vryheid paid great dividends for all our team efforts over the past months with three cars in the top ten and another dominant showing in the FIA T1 Adventure class,” Red-Lined team principal Terence Marsh admitted. “We are quietly thrilled with our all new REVO+ GT-R’s showing good reliability as well as great performance potential as we continue to get a better understanding of this new package of ours. Vryheid certainly underlined that promise, so all in all, a very good outing! Kudos to our entire team once again on another successful racing weekend!”
