This past weekend, 3-5 February, the Kyalami 9-Hour returned after multiple postponements due to the Covid-19 pandemic. And while it was exciting seeing the world's top endurance racers take to the track, the biggest news was around a South African team.
Racing for the Stradale Racing/Into Africa team, Xolile Letlaka, Tschops Sipuka, and Philip Kekana received massive cheers from the attending crowd before the race and were the focal point of media in attendance. Why? The three men and their team became the first all-black African team to enter and finish the Kyalami 9-Hour race. And more, the team secured two podium finishes over the race weekend. The first podium came when Letlaka took third place in the SA GT 1-Hour race and second place in the Kyalami 9-Hour National GT3 class, along with teammates Sipuka and Kekana.
