Having clinched the championship title in the inaugural GR Cup – a single-make circuit racing series – in a Toyota GR Yaris, our very own race-ace Ashley Oldfield was invited by Toyota South Africa to fill a seat in the final 2 races of the 2022 GTC season.
Ashley really had his work cut out for him as he had never even driven a Global Touring Car (GTC), never mind raced in one. He barely had any time to practice at all before the lights went out at Zwartkops and it was time to race. So, how did it go? Only one way to find out.
