This will be the first year that South Africa will be a Regional Championship. The automatic Kona slot for the winners, the large number of KPR points (it a P-4000 race now) and the increased prize purse of $150.000 has managed to attract a string field. Race registration is closed by now and while there may be a few withdrawals, we can get a good indication of the participants. I will post my regular longer predictions closer to the race.
