Well done to Saood Variawa and Guy Botterill - the two #TGRSA drivers are in second and third place after the first day of the Ingco Parys 400.

@TGRSouthAfrica Was there yesterday, well done - what a brilliant day out watching top class South African motorsport.

It is time, at last! The 2026 #SARRC season gets under way in Parys this morning. It has been a long break, but now it’s time to go racing again! #BackTGRSA #ItsNotABakkieItsAHilux #WhenTheresToughToBeDone #ToyotaFinancialServices #InnovationGroupServices #ToyotaGenuineMotorOil

The #SARRC heads to the Free State this weekend for another demanding rally raid battle 🏁🔥​

Fast terrain, changing conditions, and long kilometers await as the crews prepare to push both machine and strategy to the limit.​ #BackTGRSA #ItsNotABakkieItsAHilux #WhenTheresToughToBeDone

Who are you backing this weekend? 👀

@JeremyClarkson Read a copy of this too, it's all rather epic. Also catch @MrJamesMay 's program on YouTube about the great explorers.

@TheFunSlimeSli @racing_porsche @Porsche @PorscheRaces @Customer_Racing @FIAWEC @24hoursoflemans @PorscheMAP @theracingline @ColinBull24 @Rinoire @juanxj56 But really enjoy seeing that pic anyway because 10 year old me was at that race meeting and after seeing 956's, well - been a Porsche fan ever since.

[David Smith @TheLaymansView]

@TheFunSlimeSli @racing_porsche @Porsche @PorscheRaces @Customer_Racing @FIAWEC @24hoursoflemans @PorscheMAP @theracingline @ColinBull24 @Rinoire @juanxj56 Correct, it's from the 1983 round at Kyalami.

@TeamQhubani Good luck guys and I'm sure it's going to enjoyable - was at rounds 1 & 2 but will have to watch this one on the YouTube feed before being able to go to @Kyalami_Circuit for the next round. Racing going into the night is absolutely awesome and we'll be cheering every second.
