GR-eat finish to Cup season
The Citizen

Huge smiles but heavy hearts for Toyota's six media drivers.
It's quite a sobering reality that after eight months of being an official factory racing driver, you become a former racing driver overnight.
It was with huge smiles but heavy hearts that the six media drivers got out of their GR Corollas for a photo op in front of the Toyota Gazoo Racing racing headquarters at Zwartkops Raceway on Saturday.
Seven rounds of the GR Cup Media Challenge had come and gone in an instant. Toyota afforded us the rare privilege to compete in 14 races at Kyalami, Killarney, Port Elizabeth, East London and Zwartkops. We racked up almost 12 hours of seat time and were well received by the simply phenomenal racing community. The memories will last a lifetime.
Sean Nurse (AutoTrader), who had wrapped up the championship during the previous round at Killarney already, completed his sixth double of the season to finish on a staggering 91 points.
