New champions crowned
➲ Robert Wolk’s jumpstart penalty
cost him the SASS title
The 2014 champion in the Formula Volkswagen category is Nicholas van Weely (87 - Anglorand).
Van Weely claimed the title at the final round of the championship at Zwartkops Raceway in November,
the last of the Super Series events for 2014.
I
n the Midas Formula 1600 category,
Scott Temple (3 - Investchem) turned
his championship lead into a 2014
championship title. Temple played it safe
at the final event, settling for second
place in each of the races to ensure he
took the title.
Both of the championship winners had
to fight right up to the final round of the
season in a nail-biting battle to see who
would emerge victorious. They then had
to fight to the very last race before the
battle was decided.
The Formula Volkswagen fight for the
title was between Van Weely and Robert
Wolk (1 - Midas / Chemical Logistics /
ATE) with the pair entering the final round
on identical points.
Victory in race one skewed the
championship fight in Wolk’s favour,
while a race two win pushed it back in
Van Weely’s favour. A jump-start penalty
for defending champion Wolk in race
two cemented Van Weely’s win for the
season.
Third place in the Formula Volkswagen
championship went to Werner Scholtz
(3 - Investchem) who managed to
hold off Jason Campos (18 - Hollard
Insurance) to take the last of the podium
steps by just five points.
Temple entered the final round as the
F1600 favourite with an 11-point lead
over his nearest rival, Keegan Campos
(02 - Hollard Insurance). Campos put in
an excellent performance on the day,
winning both races and claiming first
overall for the event, but was just not
able to unseat Temple’s lead.
Bevan Williams (36 - Rightway Auto
Electrical) rounded out the top three
overall ɕ
