The final round of the 2012 Bridgestone
Production Cars was held at Kyalami. This was the first South African National
event held at Kyalami in almost two years and marked the Kyalami debut for the
Audi S4 race cars. Michael Stephen, the reigning Class A champion, had already sealed
the 2012 title at the previous round held at Killarney. The highlights of the
day included a podium for Stephen in race two, followed by a sensational race
three for the newest Audi driver. Shortly before race three the heavens opened and the race was officially
under quattro weather conditions. Sipuka and Bonafede rocketed to the front and
battled with the leading Subaru. Gennaro was on a mission and monstered his way
past the Subaru and went on to win after starting from last. This was the young
rookie’s debut win in Class A and the Audi S4.
