We are 8 days removed from Sunday Night Easter and we hope you had a splendid long weekend. As fans were quick to notice, Monday Night Fuel did not broadcast last Monday due to that Monday falling on a holiday. Unlike with the pushing back of  Sunday Night Easter, the  hiatus of Fuel last week went unadvertised.

And while the fan base was disappointed to say the least that they wouldn’t get to watch the fallout of Sunday Night Easter immediately, they weren’t unhappy enough not to show up in the 1000s this past Monday as the Fuel Speedway had nearly 4000 people in attendance.

There was no dispute that the number one reason that fans were eager to see  more of the Formula-X Series was because the biggest F-X PPV is just around the corner.

“The Granddaddy of the them all,” is what they’re calling it. And what a
phrase to live up to. THE FORMULA-X GRAND PRIX shares that nickname with both U.S.’s Rose Bowl Game and of course, WrestleMania. And it is as close to the Super bowl of Motorsport that you’re ever going to get. Walking into the event  with the Formula-X Crown is none other than King Mandla Xulu fresh off his victory at Sunday Night Easter.

The past 8 days has also seen the promotion of the event pick up as more and  more adverts, posters, banners and billboards have gone up featuring feature- racers like King Mandla, Solo, Stevie, Thorne and Kloof as well as popular rising stars Touch Mkhize, Penny Duchess of Drag and Brenda Koek.

The Commissioners of Fuel haven’t been slouch-ing either as there’s been an unrelenting amount radio broadcast time spent on promoting the event . On the TV front, the Commissioners have relied on a growing number of TV spots rather than popular talk shows as they don’t to diminish the work of Touch’s talk show or the F-X reporters.
