Van Rensburg Racing

JP Van Rensburg wasn’t just an oval track legend - he was a husband, a father, a grandfather, a friend, and a man who left his mark on so many lives.

Racing was his life. He lived for it. Anyone who knew him knows that you could never go to the track without seeing him walking through the pits, greeting everyone, stopping for a chat, sharing a laugh and somehow always making his presence felt.

Thank you for the memories, the laughter, the stories, and the legacy you gave our family. Thank you for the love and passion you had for something that became such a huge part of all our lives.

Forever loved. Forever remembered. Forever a Van Rensburg Racing legend.

Rest in peace. 💔🕊️ #66

I gave it everything I had, but there’s some work to be done on the car as we prepare for Nationals on 5 September at Ultimate Outlaws - Raceway. 💪

Massive thanks to my dad Jannie Van Rensburg for all the work he puts into my car, Rubyn De Witt for always helping and to every single one of my sponsors for making this possible. Your support means more than you know! 🧡

Regional Championships Final | Rietkuil Raceway 🏁

Last weekend marked the final round of the Regional Championships!

⭐️ Stockrods: Charl finished 4th on the night and 5th overall in the Regional Championships.

⭐️ 8-Valve Midgets: Johnny finished 3rd on the night and 2nd overall in the Regional Championships!

Unfortunately, Chané was unable to compete in the final round as her car wasn’t ready in time. While it was disappointing to miss out, we’ll be back stronger! 💪

A huge thank you to Johnny & Charl's sponsors for their continued support! 🙏

Supreme Championship Results | Stockrods 🏁

Charl wrapped up the Supreme Championship with an impressive 5th overall after three hard-fought rounds. 💪

After having his car written off during the second round of the championship, the team faced the challenge of starting over with a completely new car. To come back from that setback and secure 5th from a field of 38 entries (33 drivers that competed), is an achievement the team can be extremely proud of.

We’re constantly working to improve the #606 car and continue building on each outing. We’re excited to see what lies ahead.
