Thrills and spills at Aldo Scribante Raceway

Round three of the Algoa Motorsport Regional and Club championship provided some close racing through all of the classes, as well as many incidents and accidents.

Ron Scott ran his classic Ford Escort wide coming onto the main straight and got his back wheels on the grass, which led to a high-speed roll in front of the pit entrance, while Syd Lippstreu ran wide out of the fast-flowing sweep and buried his Toyota Celica in the tyre wall.

There was oil dropped on the circuit early in the morning when one of the motorcycle's engines failed, leading to various spins during the cold morning conditions.

A highlight of the day was the first visit to Scribante by the Kaltron Formula Supercar Series, with nine Killarney-based cars enjoying an away race as part of their 2025 championship.
