Last week we brought you some awesome coverage of the MX National event in Melkbos. Here's the video round up of what went down. Enjoy! [more]

Round 2 of the Monster, TRP MX nationals headed to a really sunny Cape Town. The series started at the sandy Rover circuit and continues in the sand of the treacherous Melkbos track. Melkbos has probably become one of the roughest most challenging tracks in SA and the riders knew it would boil down to serious conditioning and horsepower. Motocross in SA has really increased in profile of late, thanks to the social media efforts of Monster energy and the invited VIP media that have been attending the events, like top SA band Van Coke Kartel who spent the day tweeting to their 22000 fans. On the back of all the pre-event marketing, spectators turned out in their droves to watch SA's best MX riders. [more]

We recently had the privilege to pick the brain of someone we all dream of being, someone who gets to drive some of the best cars in the world, on the best race track in the world, the Nurburgring in Germany. While most of us only get to experience this awesome track virtually in games like Gran Turismo, Antony Ashley does this daily as his job. Working for a company called RSR Nurburg, Antony is not only the manager but also a driving instructor. RSR Nurburg has an awesome fleet of cars which can be rented out for laps around the Ring, from Renault Clio’s to Ferrari’s, McLaren’s, BAC Mono’s, Nissan GTR’s… to name a few. [more]

So I've been noticing this new Automotive company who popped up on Facebook a few months back and as with anything new on the car scene I was very curious to check what they were all about. The company in question is called Spartan Automotives and they are based out in Strand. A local car manufacturer, wow! That's brilliant! We at Raceweb always love things local and lekker! The two particular vehicles that caught my attention were these, the Spartan 7 and the Spartan Trike. Yes people, a reverse trike with 3 wheels! Don't think Reliant Robbin, think more Morgan 3 wheeler. But this one is a lot more spicier than that dated looking Morgan. [more]

More than forty of SA’s top drifters will over-steer their high-powered machines around the glamorous course on this, the third stop of the national drifting circuit. [more]

A few weeks ago I was quite surprised to find a flyer advertising the Passion for Speed event while at Zone 7. I was quite thrilled to see the reintroduction of the classic motor racing after the event took a one year hiatus in 2013, where the event sadly only occurred up country, leading to quite a few disappointed classic car fans in Cape Town. My dad, brother and I were immediately keen to attend the event as it has quite a special place for us personally as we didn’t miss any events in the previous years. [more]
