Mini ROK U10: Five-Way Title Shootout with Van Staden on Top
The Mini ROK U10 class has quietly become one of the fiercest battles in the championship. With just 29 points separating the top five drivers, and four heats still to come at the final round, the championship is far from settled.
Riley van Staden leads the way on 290 points, having delivered a clinical season so far. From his triple win at Red Star in February to consistently strong drives at Killarney and Scribante, Van Staden has built his lead through pace, discipline, and staying out of trouble. He hasnโt put a wheel wrong all year โ and heโll need four more clean runs to take the title.
Second overall is Noah Cronje on 276 points, thanks to a string of podiums and consistent top-five finishes. Cronjeโs ability to keep scoring has kept him firmly in the title picture. He knows how to survive a championship weekend โ and over four long races at Red Star, that could make all the difference.
Just behind him is Radhi Harris with 272 points, whose strongest performance came at Killarney, where he scored 32, 30, and 32 โ one of the highest single-round point totals all season. His speed is unquestionable, and if he can replicate that pace at Red Star, heโll be a major threat for the title.
Logan Roerigh (269) and Alanzo Dias (261) round out the top five and are still mathematically in the hunt. Roerigh has been a consistent front-runner, while Dias has taken major steps forward since Round 1 and showed strong pace in Gqeberha. Neither can afford mistakes โ but both have the speed to win.
Outside the title contenders, drivers like Lwasho Mathebula, Egor Grishin, and Ronald Venter will still shape the championship by taking points off the leaders. In a class this close, every pass counts.
Mini ROK U10 has delivered sharp, close, and often unpredictable racing. With no dropped scores and four heats to settle it, expect the championship to go down to the wire.
