Durban Beachfront start for Zulu Rally South Africa 2007




The three-day Zulu Rally, which roars into action at Durban's Bay of Plenty on the Beachfront next weekend, is set to bring plenty of high-octane action to the doorsteps of local motor sport enthusiasts.
Inanda and Richmond locals, in particular, will get an up-close taste of the sport.

Paul Godwin, the Rally's Operations Manager, said the event would cover a rugged 289km stretch around Inanda and Richmond.

Zulu Rally South Africa 2007, Africa's candidate event for inclusion in the 2008 FIA World Rally Championship, is largely regarded as an event not to be missed by a large majority of rally competitors and sports an impressive line up of international competitors.

A field of about 65 cars is expected at the ceremonial start, at the Bay of Plenty, including the cream of the country’s rallying fraternity, said Godwin.

He advised fans to look out for team Castrol Toyota’s Serge Damseaux and Johnny Gemmel, as well as BP Volkswagen’s Enzo Kuun, Hergen Fekken and Jannie Habig, all from KwaZulu-Natal. Also expected is Charl Wilken in the latest Subaru from Britain.

Spectators will be able to get near the race from the N2 Sibaya or the M4 Umdloti off ramps, and at the Sibaya entrance.
