South Africa's premier circuit racing category is ready to delight Cape Town motorsport enthusiasts on 13 March, with their new race day format and an entry list of 24 of the country's best drivers.

Class A will boast 10 entries, a staggering 8 of which are former South African Champions. Following his brilliant performance in the new BMW 335i at Kyalami three weeks ago, Anthony Taylor (Afrox) has taken an early points lead and will be hoping to repeat his performance at Killarney. Melvill Priest will also be looking for top honours for the Afrox team.

The Engen Xtreme Team will be represented by Michael Stephen, who currently lies second in the points standings and Tschops Sipuka. Tschops is a new addition to the Audi team, after spending a year in the Formula Volkswagen single seater category.

The Nissan 350Zs have historically been quick at Killarney. Leeroy Poulter and Marco da Cunha will be hoping to translate this speed into a good points haul for SAM Racing and Tubular Technical Construction.

Johan Fourie (IndyOil Audi) will be hoping to use his home ground advantage to gain maximum points and minimise his poor luck at Kyalami. Other drivers hoping to improve on their Kyalami performances are Lee Thompson (Rough Rider BMW 330i) and Hennie Groenewald (Subaru WRX STI). Groenewald will be behind the wheel of the only Subaru, as Dawie Olivier continues to recover from a back op.

It is anticipated that Richard Pinard will use the Killarney event to debut the aesthetically pleasing Lotus Exige.

Kyalami has opened up a whole new element of excitement in Class T as the category newcomers taught the ''old hands'' a thing or two. Whilst Graeme Nathan (IndyOil GTI) tops the points standings, it is Gennaro Bonafede (Ferodo GTI) that has captured fans' imaginations.  The younster succeeded in ousting Nathan for top honours in the final race at Kyalami and will be looking to continue his success at Killarney.

Kieren Quarmby (Interfile GTI) also had a good debut at Kyalami, but will be chasing the race win at Killarney.

The new three race format served Curt Alchin (Bodyman GTI) well in the first event and he currently holds fourth place in the championship, ahead of the Nandos Ford Focus ST trio of Gary Formato, Shaun Duminy and Michael van Rooyen. All four drivers are expected to fight hard for victory in Cape Town.

Heinz Bose and George Smalberger will be flying the Mazda Motorsport high in MFC backed Mazda 3 MPS'. Bose has impressed at previous outings to the Western Cape and much of the same is expected.

Nizaam Esa (Asrin Property) and Niyaaz Modack (Woodmead Auto) will round out the VW GTI entries, while rumours abound that Gary Green is in the process of procuring a similar model.

A decision to move Mishal Sing and his BMW 120d into Class T has been made, taking the Class T entries to 14.

Practice sessions will take place on Friday 12 March, with qualifying and all three races on Saturday 13 March.
