Robertson’s 2011 Engen Volkswagen Cup lead extended at Killarney
Devin Robertson has extended his lead in the 2011 Engen Volkswagen Cup at rounds three and four of the season held at Killarney near Cape Town on 2 April. The 2010 ‘vice champion’ only finished the first race in fourth place behind Kosie Weyers, Kyle Barnes and Bryan Morgan. In the second round, however, Robertson clinched a commanding victory, beating Weyers and Brett Roach to the chequered flag. On 30 April, the 18 year-old will travel to the next races at Port Elizabeth with a 19-point advantage.
The 2011 Engen Volkswagen Cup series is similar to the other racing VW Polo Cup single-series championships run both in Europe and India. Just as in those series, the one-make format particularly highlights a wealth of new young driving talent. In the Engen championship, as many as thirty drivers regularly take to the track in technically-identical, 2.0-litre, 234bhp Volkswagen Polo Vivos. The next rounds of the 2011 Engen Volkswagen Cup are scheduled for 30 April at the Scribante circuit in Port Elizabeth.
