Final day of the South African Rally-Raid Championship Toyota Gazoo Racing Stella 1000.

Jayden Els and Johann Swemmer start Stage 5 in third place overall.

24/07/2026

Day 1 of the South African Rally-Raid Championship Toyota Gazoo Racing Stella 1000 delivered fast, twisty tracks, thick bush, long straights and plenty of sand. The CR7 handled the demanding stages well, with a big step forward in the front and rear differential setup, while the team continued working through damper settings as the terrain changes throughout the race. Jayden Els Johann Swemmer finished provisionally 7th, just 27 seconds off the lead, β€œ....we parked it at the end to secure a better starting position for tomorrow.”

The true test starts tomorrow with stage 3 and 4 both covering 209km. Jayden and Johann will take the steady and calm approach, keeping in mind that the starting order might play a big part again on Sunday.
