Double win for Matthew Hodges
at Killarney
The seventh race weekend of the Volkswagen Polo Cup South Africa on 1-3 October ended in a double victory by Matthew Hodges. In the first race at Killarney the 23-year-old title defender prevailed against Devin Robertson with a 1.198-second lead. In the second race he beat Kyle Barnes to the chequered flag by just 0.452 seconds. Hodges therefore continues to extend his lead of the standings in the popular Volkswagen one-make cup. Round 9 of the Volkswagen Polo Cup South Africa is at the BMSC East London Grand Prix circuit on 30-31 October. The 2010 Volkswagen Polo Cup South Africa series is similar to the other racing Polo championships run in Europe and India. Just as in those series, the one-make format highlights new young driving talent. As many as 30 drivers regularly take to the track in technically identical cars, full grids ensure close-fought races.
