Throwing it back to Kyalami. What a way to round off the season and the decade! A win in beautiful South Africa. Bring on 2020 👊🏼 #TBT #TBThursday

About last night! #Kyalami9H

[Strakka Racing @StrakkaRacing]

That’s a second consecutive Pro-Am victory for our #43 crew at the #Kyalami9H!!!! 🥇🏆🙌🏻

[Strakka Racing @StrakkaRacing]

There's two hours to go here at the #Kyalami9H. It's dark, it's raining a lot and our #43 Pro-Am car is still 1st in class. Tricky conditions for everyone

[Intercontinental GT Challenge @IntercontGTC]

Have you ever seen anything like this at a motor race?! The standing water - and there's a lot of it - is visibly evaporating as the Safety Car leads @RichardLietz and @nickcatsburg around.

We're at the half way point of the #Kyalami9H. The #43 Pro-Am car still leads the class; we currently have Adrian D'Silva at the wheel

[Strakka Racing @StrakkaRacing]

Devastated that our #44 Pro car is out at the 3-hour mark. @TristanVautier was running in a strong fifth place. Our #43 Pro-Am leads the class #Kyalami9Hour

[Intercontinental GT Challenge @IntercontGTC]

Another big development in the Manufacturers' Championship: @TristanVautier's @StrakkaRacing AMG is in the tyre wall and out of the race!

So AMG have only two #IntGTC entries left compared to Porsche's four.

84 laps done at the #Kyalami9Hour! #44 @StrakkaRacing is on P6 having a great race to catch up so far. #10 SPS automotive performance is currently ranked P9. #6 @TeamBlackFalcon made up some positions as well and occupies P15. Let’s push!

[Strakka Racing @StrakkaRacing]

It is hot out there! The field has completed a second round of pitstops and our #44 Pro is 6th overall, now with @TristanVautier at the wheel. And we're still leading the Pro-Am class with the #43 #Kyalami9Hour

[Strakka Racing @StrakkaRacing]

After a brilliant first stint that saw @GaryPaffett gain 7 places on the Pro car's starting spot, an incredible pitstop from the Strakka crew sees the #44 in second place overall just after the one hour mark! Our #43 Pro-Am car also leads the class! #Kyalami9Hour

[Strakka Racing @StrakkaRacing]

We're ready! 15 minutes until the @IntercontGTC season finale; the #Kyalami9Hour. You can watch the whole race live here: https://t.co/5qiy5Zitw6

[Strakka Racing @StrakkaRacing]

Did you know? It's been 37 years since the last Kyalami 9 Hours! The 1982 edition was won by Jacky Ickx and Jochen Mass - we're racing on hallowed ground this weekend!

[Strakka Racing @StrakkaRacing]

We're 20 minutes into Paid Practice 1 and our #44 and #43 @MercedesAMG GT3's are in 1st and 2nd places on the timesheets 👀

[Strakka Racing @StrakkaRacing]
