#DesertRace: Three manufacturers represent Class T podium :: Mmegi Online

Reigning Production Vehicle champions Leeroy Poulter and Rob Howie led the Toyota Gazoo Racing SA team to a stunning clean sweep of the podium places in heat two of the Toyota Kalahari Botswana 1000 Desert Race, round three of the Donaldson Cross Country Championship.

Poulter and Howie led home Anthony Taylor/Dennis Murphy and Zimbabwean Conrad Rautenbach and German co-driver Dirk von Zitzewitz with all three in Toyota Hilux models running to FIA Class specifications. For Poulter and Howie, winners of the first heat, it was their fourth victory of the season and followed wins on the RFS Endurance and the Vredefort Super Sprint.

Toyota’s cup overflowed when Jason Venter and Vince van Allemann, in the 4x4 Mega World Toyota Hilux, finished in fourth place and won Class T for cars over four litres with solid axle rear suspension and commercially available tyres. For the young North West crew it was the biggest win of their careers.
