The LNR MSA Cup Finals capped off an intense qualifying season earlier this year. The top 25 drivers from each qualifying session earned their spots in the finals, which unfolded over three thrilling rounds with LNR’s signature unpredictability.
Round 1 – Zolder:
Chaos ruled the opening round, with chicanes becoming crash hotspots and cars ricocheting off walls. Despite the mayhem, Henry Meyer triumphed in the Pro division, while Ulrich De Jager claimed victory in Pro-Am.
Round 2 – Misano:
A reverse grid added a new challenge, forcing top contenders to battle their way through the field. Once again, Henry demonstrated his mastery, clinching another Pro win. Ulrich showcased consistency, finishing second in Pro-Am.
Round 3 – Kyalami:
The grand finale took place at Kyalami, South Africa’s iconic motorsport venue. Grid positions were determined by total points from the first two rounds, setting the stage for an intense showdown. While Flemming Bouwer had a slim mathematical chance to challenge Henry for the Pro title, Henry delivered a flawless performance, securing the championship with a clean sweep. Ulrich, meanwhile, held his nerve, notching up another Pro-Am victory and even competing head-to-head with Pro drivers.
