The Investchem South African Formula 1600 Championship takes the next step on the Mazda Road to Indy as it heads to Cape Town for the second round of the Extreme Festival at the Killarney International Raceway Saturday 21 April with an eager field of drivers with one aim in mind – to beat Stuart White.

A little over a year since he finished fifth in the 2016 Mazda Road to Indy USF2000 $200k Scholarship Shootout, Niall Murray picked up where he left off in the British Racing & Sports Car Club’s Avon Tyres National Formula Ford championship.

Auckland's Callum Hedge has become the first young driver to earn an invitation to the third annual Mazda Road to Indy USF2000 $200K Scholarship Shootout after clinching the New Zealand Formula 1600 Championship at Manfeild Circuit Chris Amon.

Callum Hedge has made a clean sweep at the penultimate round of the New Zealand Formula 1600 Championship held at the Bruce McLaren Motorsport Park in Taupo. Having qualified fastest on Saturday morning, the Auckland teenager went on to win all four races, leading from start to finish in each.

Callum Hedge continues to lead the New Zealand Formula 1600 Championship heading to its penultimate weekend at Taupo Motorsport Park this weekend (February 2-4). The 14-year-old hasn’t had it easy with fellow Aucklander Josh Bethune showing on track that he is his closest rival when the two traded first and second places at the last round at Teretonga Park, Invercargill, in their respective Mygales.
