Rachelle raring to go at Zwartkops

Rachelle du Plessis can’t wait for Zwartkops’ seventh round Northern Regions Karting Championship races 24 September - the Randfontein lass is looking forward to double duty in both the senior Max and DD2 gearbox classes this weekend following an excellent meeting last time out in Vereeniging.

"I am so excited for this regional,” Rachelle admitted. “Rotax South Africa agreed to let me use their Senior Max engine again and Praga South Africa also agreed to let me use the chassis again, so I am racing Senior Max and DD2. “ Im really enjoying driving the Senior Max, especially with the chance to make it another all-girl podium with Fabienne Lanz, Shannon Jackson and Ivana Cetinich.”

Du Plessis shared the Senior Max podium with Jackson and Lanz with a strong third place on her first race in that class last time out. “My main focus remains on the DD2 however and I know its not going to be easy there either," du Plessis who lies third in that title chase concluded. "I am just behind Nick Verheul in the championship, but he is very fast around Zwartkops so I hope to match his pace and the whole team is ready for another great weekend of karting. “I can’t wait!”

Zwartkops’ penultimate championship meeting sees the various Northern Regions karting titles heading into their final stretches - it should make for a great day at the races.
