Sterling Stelvio
By Gavin Foster lfa Romeo's new Stelvio - the Italian manufacturer's ¿ rst Atilt at the lucrative modern SUV market - goes straight for the jugulars of similar upmarket offer- ings from BMW, Jaguar, Mercedes Benz and Volvo. After WW2, the Italian company produced a competent off-roader, when they churned out a couple of thousand slab-sided Jeep rip-offs for the Italian military and a paltry 154 for sale to the public between 1952 and '54, but that was a very functional, dirt-focussed light reconnaissance vehicle. It was dropped in favour of the much simpler - and, of course, cheaper - Fiat Cam- pagnola after just two years. That's not gonna happen with the Stelvio, though. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles spent $1 billion developing the rear-wheel-drive Giorgio platform for the Fiat Giulia and another half-dozen Alfa models, and now that they've used it as the basis of the Stelvio it's likely to begin popping Quadrifoglio allowed the engineers to loss of traction becomes an issue.

Team racing makes its debut at the Drak Challenge
AFTER the successful KZN Mixed Doubles Champs on the weekend, the N3TC Drak Challenge has added a team event to its race options, allowing paddlers to enter as two K1 craft, and enjoy the popular two-day outing on the uMzimkhulu through Underberg on 20 and 21 January. Initiated in 2016, the Mixed Doubles Champs organised by Canyon Kayak Club allowed mixed crews to enter either in a K2 or as two K1s, adding a new dimension to the racing, particularly if low river conditions favour singles over doubles. With the race entry almost doubling after the 2016 debut of the format, paddlers have given the new team option their support, driving the Drak Challenge organisers to add this as an option to the race entry. “The N3TC Drak is a popular race with everyday paddlers who enjoy sharing the clean river, the fun of the rapids and the scenery, so adding a team option seems like a good idea,” said race committee head Andrew Having won two titles, Hank McGregor will complete the dream duo when he joins Euro Steel team mate Andy Barnett.

WITH the resurgent growth in interest in triathlon racing, Durban's beachfront will host the cream of the country's triathletes alongside enthusiastic social athletes for the MiWay Durban Ultra Triathlon on Sunday 4 March. Building on the well supported 2017 event, the event has opted to move its centre of operations entirely to the Durban beachfront, a change from the fi nish area being staged at Moses Mabhida Stadium this year. "The change is intended to make it more convenient for the athletes as well as their seconds, supporters, family members and spectators," said event director Damian Bradley. "This is an event that has a rich South African legacy, and we are centering it around the participants and the privilege of being able to race on the Durban beachfront. "With the event doubling as the SA Long Course Triathlon Championships, this will give fans a great chance to follow the elite competitors by having the race focus in one area," he added.

"This is what we are calling the 'Hot Zone' where spectators can watch the swim exit, the bike start, the bike fi nish, the run laps and fi nish all in one spot," he said. The 'Hot Zone' will offer a wide variety of food and drink options for spectators and their families." The Durban beachfront was the home of the initial explosion of interest in triathlon racing in the Eighties, attracting worldwide attention as a triathlon racing mecca. "As much as triathlon racing has grown and evolved, we want to build on Durban beachfront's special legacy in the sport," said Bradley. The Ultra event will consist of a 1900m surf swim, a 90km cycle and a 21km run, while the Sprint event consists of a 600m surf swim, a 20km cycle and a 5km run. Both events can be tackled as a team, with each team member taking on one leg of the triathlon. The event forms part of the four leg Ultra Triathlon series that celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2018. "It is an entirely South African owned, born and bred series," said Bradley. "From its start 10 years ago, with one event and 200 athletes, it has grown to a national series of four events and over 5000 competitors," he said.
