What an incredible weekend of racing at an amazing venue! 🏁🔥

After two days of tough racing, we managed to pull off an incredible comeback!

🏆 1st – FIA Big Wheel Class
🏆 1st – Overall Victory

Day 1 – Friday
Qualifying saw us finish 5th. The main race was a real battle — we lost time stuck in dust behind another vehicle, picked up a flat after clipping a rock, and with just 20 km to go, the rear sway bar broke.

Despite all the setbacks, we pushed through to finish 2nd in FIA Big Wheel Class and 5th Overall, ending the day 8:33 minutes behind the leader.

Day 2 – Saturday
We knew we had a big gap to make up. The plan was simple, stay in the tracks, push wherever possible and make up time.

Everything came together. A clean, trouble-free run saw us pass all the contenders and take 1st on the day in FIA Big Wheel Class and 1st Overall 💪🔥

We took Overall victory for the event by just 5 seconds! 🏆🥇

Huge thanks to everyone who supported us and helped make this result possible. A special thank you to Tjaart van der Walt for your dedication in prepping the Vehicle.

What a race. What a comeback. What a team! 🏁🔥🏆

🏁 Scheiwer-Reneke 300 🏁

What a great race at the Schweizer-Reneke 300!

We started 6th in the Prologue and managed to finish 2nd which secured our starting position for the main race.

We had an awesome first lap where the steering wheel and navigator’s book felt completely in sync. About 30km into the second lap, we experienced a fueling issue with the multiple-tank setup, causing us to lose a significant amount of fuel. Unfortunately, we ran out of fuel just 3km from the pits, which was a huge disappointment but that’s racing!

The positive is that we’ve already identified the issue and have a plan in place to prevent it from happening again in the future. We’re looking forward to the next race and coming back even stronger.
