Volkswagen Sasolracing's Lategan And White Rally To Second Place

Volkswagen Sasolracing's Lategan And White Rally To Second Place

Date: 2015-10-23
Henk Lategan and Barry White finished the 2015 national rally season the same way they started it - on the podium. The pair rallied to second place overall at the Polokwane Motor Rally 2015 on Saturday, which ended at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.

"Our aim was to win the rally," said Lategan. "We tried a few things to ensure we had the right road position for Saturday. It cost us some time and didn't quite work out the way we wanted. It looked good for the win, but we had trouble with our fourth gear in the last two stages. I tried to drive around the problem as far as possible, but we just lost too much time. It was a good rally and we are on the podium to finish the season."

Lategan and White took third place at the Tour Natal in March this year - the first round of the national rally championship - and have campaigned hard all season, putting in fast stage times, searching for another finish amongst the top three. That result eluded them right up until the final moment when they improved on their first podium finish to cross the line for second at the final round.

"Henk and Barry have been on pace this season," said Mike Rowe, head of Volkswagen Motorsport. "They've come close many times and it is a great result for them to finish on the podium here in Polokwane."

The close of the 2015 national rally season also marked the end of an era for Volkswagen Motorsport. The Polokwane Motor Rally was the last outing for the Volkswagen Works team with a change of focus for Volkswagen Motorsport from 2016.
