Toyota Powered Atom?

[Bruce Fielding]

This from Cape Town:

WITH a full complement of 18 races on the program for the first time at Killarney on Saturday, spectators can look forward to an exciting dayâ??s racing.

And naturally, as this is also the opening regional meeting of the 2008 season, there are a number of new cars and new drivers, as well as new combinations of the two.

On the other hand, a few of the old hands are no longer going to be seen in action.

The high speed BMW participation in the Indy Oil Clubman events is growing by leaps and bounds and at the time of going to press nine of them, including the hot 325iâ??s of Roshan Khan and Achmat Achmat, had been included in the large field..

The one-make Makita Power Tools Supercar category sees the return of former champion Neil Hawkins, but the withdrawal of Springbok Series winner Jesse Huggett who is unfortunately back in hospital for another operation.

Others to watch in this one, include veteran Richard Schreuder and the promising Steve McCarthy.

Interesting entries in the NA Carrera Sports and GT events include the off-beat looking Toyota powered Ariel Atom, driven by Dawie Joubert and a more conventional V8 engined Ford GT-40 in the hands of Jean Fourie.

Racing begins at 10:10 after a shortened practice session. Admission is R40 for adults and R10 for scholars under 16. No charge for under 12s.

Likely just a typo and they're getting Honda/Toyota confused.. Although I always wondered what TRD would do if they could get one of their engines into a Atom. They make some good ones. It'd be rough to pick between them and a Honda.
