Challengers - Duncan English and Rob Williams

Dark horse for the overall title in 2009 has to be Duncan English and Rob Williams in their very well prepared Toyota Run X RSi and never forget about Andy Haigh-Smith and the A6 REACT Toyota Corolla RXi 1600. Young Ashley Haigh-Smith and Hilton Auffray have a season of experience behind them and the A5 Yaris is ready.

Splitting the field into Senior and Junior contenders have certainly created new interest in regional rallies and now the Cape series have adopted the proven Gauteng class structures which accommodates all cars but assists organisers.

Biggest surprise of the year could well still be the imminent return of Mike Nathan. He has acquired the Fernando Rueda Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 9 for his national campaign and is said to be driving an A6 Corolla in the local series.
Then André Cleenwerck have acquired the Jon Williams A7 Polo and Stephanie Hugo is said to be bringing her pink Subaru down from Namibia for the season - hopefully giving Berto Mostert a go in the Ford.
