Race report from Rory Kirk:
This past weekend I competed in the 2024 South African Downhill Champs, Held at a new venue “Spice Route”, Just outside of Paarl, in the Western Cape. A new track for me too, which is always great, and makes the weekend far more interesting.
After a good but by no means perfect race run I secured 2nd place on the day, a few too many small mistakes at the top of the track cost me, although I did have the fastest second and final sector of the track the whole weekend making some of the time back.
I am happy with the result, and I’m at the stage where, I realistically want nothing other than a win, which is a good space to be in.
I am still in the points lead for the South African National series, so there are positives to the 2nd place.
Thank you for the support, this wouldn’t be possible without you and the team behind the fantastic brand.
