Bikefin Honda Pre Race Report | First Zwartkops National

The 2012 South African Supersport Championship kicks off this weekend for the BikeFin Honda

Team, with the season opener at Zwartkops Raceway in Pretoria-the home track of Anassis Racing.

Team principle, Brad Anassis, is anxious about the teams’ performance since improving each

element of the already winning combination during the summer break. “It doesn’t matter to whom

you talk; you can feel the winning spirit of each individual working in the team. We have grabbed

every opportunity to prepare ourselves for the best shot at the title we’ve ever had.” It is fantastic to

see that we have the prime sponsors available in the industry and they share our winning mentality.

Robbie Petersen, the freshly appointed support advisor to the team, is the silent force behind the

scenes of the Bikefin Honda Team. He reckons that “we have a perfect balance of riders. Lance

Isaacs is extremely experienced and I think he’s riding better than ever. Clint Seller is very talented

and probably the most determined rider I have ever worked with. In Brent and Cam, we have two

of the brightest rising stars. They both have to work through some riding technique issues, but

are lucky to be surrounded by the best support crew this country has to offer. They have every

opportunity to develop into future champions.” The biggest challenge he foresees, personally,

is “getting used to the Ipod music of the boys”.

maestro of the team he has only one goal, “opening my 2012 race season account with the

maximum points haul!”

New to the team, Cam Petersen is super excited to have his first race for Anassis Racing on the

Bikefin Honda. He already fell in love with the team and feels extremely privileged to be a part

of it. “My goal is to start off with a couple of consistent rides and then build for the rest of the

season… Don’t expect any fireworks first time out, but by the end of the season I want to be up front

consistently. I am running #7, which my uncle Dave used for most of his racing career.”

Brent Harran has set his mind on racing only for 2012 and “can’t wait to finally claim his maiden win

in the Supersport. I have been so close to my first win, that I am purely focused on materializing it.”

He adds that “2012 is the year that it all has to fall into place.”

Championship runner up, Clint Seller, hasn’t much more to add except that “I want to prove my

worth to my team and sponsors and give them the success they work so hard for”.

On Friday morning when first practice starts, Brad Anassis will know if his endless effort to create the

best team in South African history is working out.
