“It was a close-run thing, as the shadows were already starting to come over the track when I did my run in the late afternoon,” Bezuidenhout said. “If we were 10 minutes later, I wouldn’t have been able to go that fast as the temperature began falling. So it was the perfect run in the end. I desperately wanted to do a 34, and the team worked very hard to achieve this great result.”
Devin Robertson was the quickest of the sports prototype machines and fifth overall in the Top 10 Shootout, powering his high-revving 1.4-litre Suzuki-powered Radical SR1 Clubsport to 41.075 sec, beating the only Ford V8-powered Shelby CanAm in the country, driven by Rui Campos to a time of 41.676 sec. Michael Verrier was seventh in the Nissan 3.5 V6-powered version of the CanAm in 43.645 sec.
