While watching the onboard lap of Hamilton’s amazing pole position at Suzuka I stumbled upon the qualifying lap of Alonso. For the eagle eyed viewer the difference is quite striking. High level observations are easy to pick out, pretty much everywhere the Honda is missing a minimum of 10kph and […]
I managed to complete a clean sweep of Championship wins in Barcelona this past weekend after winning the Blancpain Endurance Cup with Kessel Ferrari. What an honor! The weekend was trouble free as myself and my team mates, Jacques Duyver and Marco Zanuttini, were fast in both wet and dry […]
Last week I was in Barcelona for a day, to do some testing and coaching, where I was lucky enough to drive both the 458 GT3 and the 488 GT3. It’s the fourth time I’ve driven both and it’s just crazy how different they are. When people ask me if […]
Just last week I returned home from a successful event in Hungary where Stephen Earle and I took the 2017 Blancpain Sprint Cup title. This is a huge achievement for me personally and I’m just massively proud to be representing South Africa in such a competitive series. Thank you to […]

Despite originally being scheduled to only complete in the Blancpain Endurance Cup, I received a late call from my 2016 team mate Stephen Earle to partner him in the remainder of the Sprint Championship. We […]
Monza did not go according to plan but we were all looking to make sure there wasn’t a repeat of our first corner crash at Silverstone, the second round of the Blancpain Endurance Series. The first day of testing started on Friday with the Bronze test however the track was […]
Monza’s opening round Blancpain Endurance Series race did not pan out as South Africa’s David Perel had planned to begin his quest to become a European GT3 Champion.
