Naweke, in die hande van ‘n bekwame renjaer wat die monster behoorlik kan loslaat, gaan die nuwe 911 GT3 RS ook heel waarskynlik op die renbaan koningkraai. Met ‘n pryskaartjie (soos getoets) van R5,059 miljoen is die 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS Weissach slegs vir ‘n klein klompie baie rykes beskore. Ek was bevoorreg om vir ‘n dag lank op die rug van die groen monster Lizard oor die Bolandse berge te vlieg vir ‘n onvergeetlike ervaring.

Distillation is the core process for a facility capable of producing re-refined base-oils to virgin base-oil quality. The final step is blending additives into these three grades of oil products to produce final products with the right detergent and anti-friction qualities. Then each product is tested again for quality and purity before being released for sale to the public. “Very few processors in South Africa have the capacity to re-refine back to base oil.
