Njengoko usazi, i-Estoril Circuit yethu ethandekayo ibibambe kwimpelaveki edlulileyo umdyarho wokuqala wamazwe ngamazwe enyakeni, kunye ne-GT Sport izise ePortugal inkqubo epheleleyo, equka i-GT Open, i-Eurofórmula Open kunye neSEAT Leon Eurocup. Ukuzalisa ngakumbi isisu seemoto, nokuba ngubani na, wade wabukela ugqatso lweNdebe yeSizwe yeClassics kunye neeLegends Classic.
Ngaba itikiti belibiza? Hayi, yayisimahla. Ngaba imozulu ibimbi? Hayi, ibintle kakhulu. Ke iibhentshi zazigcwele, akunjalo? Ayilunganga. Kodwa kukho okungakumbi: ukufikelela kwi-paddock kwakusimahla! Akuncedi nganto ukukhwaza ubungangamsha bebhola kumajelo eendaba xa kamva, thina bathandi bemidlalo yemoto, sivotela imiboniso enjalo ukuba siyilahle. Kwaye ukudinwa akusosizathu sokungayi. Kusuku olungaphambili, ndenze ngaphezu kwe-700km kwivili le-Mazda MX-5 kwiindlela zelizwe, kuquka nale (!). Bendikhona imini yonke.
Ukuba bendinomntwana, ndikholelwe, bendiza kumfaka ikepusi entloko ndimsa e-Estoril. Kukho iintsuku apho iibhakethi kunye neetawuli zaselwandle zinokulinda. Ukuba ayengakwenzi oko, ayengabazali abakhohlakeleyo. Umntwana wakho uya kumangaliswa yingxolo yeemoto kumzila kunye nokukwazi ukubona nokuchukumisa "iipopu". Ngelo xesha, utata wayekwazi ukuthetha nabaqhubi kwaye athathe imifanekiso ehlekisayo yeemoto kunye nokunye ...
Ngcono. Banokuqhuba nakwingoma ye-slalom enamaxesha abekiweyo, zonke zisetwe yi-SEAT. Ngeli xesha, umntwana unokuzama isilingisi somdyarho, naye osuka eSEAT. Enyanisweni, umboniso obekwe yi-brand yaseSpain kwesi siganeko wawunomdla: ngaphezu kweemoto ze-20 kwigridi yokuqala; i-motorhome egcwele abantu abadumileyo (abadlali be-soap opera, iimvumi kunye nentlalontle ngokubanzi); kunye nemisebenzi eyahlukeneyo evuleleke kuluntu.
Ndishiya ngasemva ubukhazikhazi be-GT Open ubuntshatsheli paddock kunye ne-SEAT Leon Eurocup, Ndafika kwipaki yeSizwe ye-Classics Championship. Imekobume yayahlukile. Izitya ezinobugocigoci endizifumene kwi-hospitality ye-GT Open kunye ne-SEAT amaqela anike ithuba kwii-steaks kunye neebhiya. Akukho nto ichaseneyo, yonke into ilungile.
Indlebe yam ebukhali ye-Alentejo, ndiyakwazi ukwahlula amagama asemantla eeligi, kancinci kuyo yonke indawo. Intle iMalta. Abaqhubi – uninzi lwabo bakwangoomakhenikha, abakhi bomzimba, abapheki, abazali nobudlelwane noluntu, bonke ngaxeshanye – bebesoloko bezipha ixesha lokufota nam okanye bathethe ngemoto abebeyiqhuba.
Mna, ongekagqibi neminyaka engama-30 ubudala, ndakonwabela ukubona iimoto ezazizalise ingqondo yam ndisengumntwana. Iimoto ezithe ngaphezu kweminyaka engama-20 zizalise iigridi zokuqala ze-Estoril. Abo badala ngokwaneleyo bakhumbula ukuba iindebe zohlobo olunye zazingaphezulu kwabaninzi ePortugal. Amaxesha amnandi… batsho.
Ewe, bayiphosile le nto nangaphezulu. Yinto entle ukuba bashiywe beziva kakubi. Iindaba ezimnandi zezokuba olu ibilugqatso lokuqala lwezizwe ngezizwe kule sizini, uninzi oluninzi luseza. Kwixesha elizayo siyavumelana. Siza kudibana e-Estoril, ok?
