Gauteng, South Africa February 21, 2009: Jeroen Bleekemolen took the Netherlands’ first victory in 45 races in this morning’s Go-GP.Org A1GP Gauteng, South Africa Sprint race.

Bleekemolen drove a faultless race around the 2.65-mile Kyalami circuit to win by 4.407-seconds from Portugal’s Filipe Albuquerque. Switzerland’s Neel Jani had a good start to move up to second off the standing start, but finished third after losing time trying to manoeuvre round Malaysia’s car, which had pitted in front of him.
