Marton's Kaleb Ngatoa is right in the hunt in both the too close to call rounds three and four of the Toyota 86 Championships over the next two weekends.
If the first two rounds of this championship are anything to go by, then the South Island fans who will see the series at both Highlands Motorsport Park and Teretonga Park are in for an absolute treat when the championship revs up for rounds three and four over the next two weekends.
The racing, quite simply, has been breathtaking throughout each and every lap of the six races (three per weekend) that have so far been completed.
No driver has been able to dominate and it's been all about race craft, passing, slipstreaming and extracting tenths if not hundredths of seconds from the identical cars to make the difference between first and tenth. It really has been that close. No other championship series in New Zealand has been closer.
Ngatoa is sitting 7th on points, but well within strking distance of those in front.
