Pepper flying SA flag high in endurance racing

JOHANNESBURG - South Africa's footprint in the motoracing space is growing steadily, be it on two wheels or four.

Brad Binder has been flying the flag high in MotoGP as he sits in fourth place on the standings, with four podium finishes.

Three other South Africans have also been representing their country well in endurance racing, including 27-year-old driver Jordan Pepper.

He drives for Iron Lynx team and recently competed in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup, where he placed 14th with teammates Mirko Bortolotti and Andrea Caldarelli.
