BEYOND THE BENCHMARK

It's easy to become distracted by the numbers surrounding the Porsche 911 GT3 Touring. The power output, the 9,000 rpm redline and the price tag all tell part of the story. Spend a proper day behind the wheel, however, and you'll discover that this remarkable Porsche is more about perspective than merely performance.

SILENT SENSATION

Sometimes the best measure of a car has nothing to do with power figures, acceleration times or how many letters appear on the badge. Sometimes, it is simply a stranger knocking on your window while you are minding your own business in a car park.

ON THE HORIZON

ON THE HORIZON – SEPTEMBER 2026

Remember the Chery QQ? The little car that once managed to earn a zero-star safety rating has undergone one heck of a transformation. Now called the Q in export markets, it's a stylish new electric hatchback with rear-wheel drive, a claimed 400 km range and prices expected between R350,000 and R400,000. And that's not the only small newcomer worth watching. Volkswagen has revealed its Tukan half-ton bakkie, with South Africa potentially in its sights.

REGARDING THE FUTURE OF F1 IN SA

“This is a defining moment for South African motorsport,” said Venter. “When we acquired Kyalami in 2014, we made a commitment to restore it, not just as a world-class venue, but as a beacon for motorsport across the African continent. The FIA’s acceptance of our Grade 1 design is a major step forward in that journey.”

BUILT TO DO IT AGAIN

For many, the Ford badge holds many memories of dad behind the wheel of his Ranger bakkie, laughing as he ploughs through yet another mud hole, one he could’ve easily just gone around, but little Timmy shouted, “again, again!”

DESERT DYNAMOS

The Dakar Rally – where endurance meets sheer determination! The 2025 edition once again pushed machines and drivers to their limits, and Toyota Gazoo Racing South Africa (TGRSA) rose to the challenge. With grit, engineering excellence, and strategic brilliance, they proved why they’re a force to be reckoned with. Who else was glued to the action?

FUELING THE FUTURE

Glenn Crompton, Toyota South Africa’s Vice President of Marketing and Technical Services, lives and breathes cars and motorsport. His journey with Toyota is fuelled by passion, merging career and motorsport dreams into one powerhouse role. Toyota is not just part of the motorsport scene – it's leading it.

FINISHING IN STYLE

The 2024 Toyota Gazoo Racing SA GR Cup wrapped up in style at Zwartkops International Raceway! Three categories delivered nail-biting action, and in the thick of it all, the Driven Number 7 GR Corolla powered its way to an impressive 2nd and 3rd place of the media drivers!

FINAL LAP FEVER

This weekend, the 2024 Toyota Gazoo Racing South Africa GR Cup heads to Zwartkops International Raceway, setting the stage for a grand finale you won’t want to miss. 

A VICTORY LAP IN KILLARNEY

Round 6 of the 2024 Toyota Gazoo Racing South Africa GR Cup Media Challenge at Killarney International Raceway pushed the drivers and their GR Corollas to the absolute limit. Engines roared, tyres squealed, and every racer had to bring their A-game in this high-speed showdown.

KILLARNEY CALLING!

Wondering where the year has gone? So are we! Alas, it’s true, the penultimate round of the 2024 Toyota Gazoo Racing SA GR Cup takes place the coming weekend (21 and 22 September 2024) at the Killarney International Race Circuit in Cape Town.

INDUSTRY NEWS

WIRED FOR PRECISION

Back in 2013, we saw the first steer-by-wire system in an Infiniti, and the Tesla Cybertruck was the first to do it without a mechanical backup, but it looks like Mercedes-Benz has perfected the concept of steer-by-wire.
