AutoTrader takes to the track for round 2
The second round of the Extreme Festival rolls into Kyalami International Race Track this weekend with a smorgasbord of racing activity. The Toyota GR Cup is set to delight again with the youngsters in their GR 86s, the dealer challenge campaigning their GR Corollas and the media contingent in the GR Yaris'.

The action is set to be hot and heavy, with no fewer than 11 race series competing for gold. It is going to be a busy race card for everyone. AutoTrader will once again be campaigning for the GR Yaris in the media category of the GR Cup. Still, strangely enough, it will not be the only AutoTarder-branded race car on track over the weekend.

The Cars
Lawrence Minnie will once again drive the famed GR Yaris in manual guise. These cars were supposed to be retired after the last race but are being revived for one last race as the new auto derivatives will not be completed in time for this week's race.
The other Autotrader-branded race car on the track will be piloted by a development driver, Kent Swartz. He will be behind the wheel of the Pablo Clark E46 BMW competing in the BMW M Performance Parts Race series. Kent is also an alumnus of the Toyota Gazoo Racing Cup racing series and is set to make his mark on professional racing.
