INTO AFRICA RACING ENTERS INVESTCHEM MSA4!

A new chapter begins for Into Africa Racing as we proudly announce our expansion into single-seater racing, with young South African talent Aashay Nagura joining the team! 🇿🇦

Having established ourselves in GT and endurance racing, this marks an exciting new direction for Into Africa Racing. Our move into Investchem MSA4 is about more than expanding our racing programme. It represents our commitment to building the future of the team, developing young South African talent and creating opportunities for the next generation of racing drivers.

And what better way to begin this journey than with Aashay Nagura!

Aashay has already built an impressive karting résumé, competing at both national and international level. His achievements include 3rd place in the 2024 IAME Series in Italy, victory at the 2024 Mini ROK Nationals, and a top-5 overall finish in the 2025 South African ROK Cup Championship. He also secured 3rd overall in the 2025 Northern Regional ROK Cup Championship.

As Aashay prepares to make the step from karting into single-seater racing, we are proud to support him in this important stage of his motorsport career.

For Into Africa Racing, this is the beginning of an exciting new journey. Alongside our continued commitment to GT racing, we look forward to establishing ourselves in the single-seater paddock and playing our part in developing the future stars of South African motorsport.

Welcome to the Into Africa Racing family, Aashay!

INTO AFRICA RACING WELCOMES COLE HEWETSON! 🇿🇦🏁

Into Africa Racing is proud to welcome rising South African racing talent Cole Hewetson to the team as he takes the next step in his motorsport career.

The young Cape Town racer joins us with valuable international experience, having competed in the British F4 Championship with Xcel Motorsport. During the 2025 season, Cole finished third in the Rookie Championship, claimed multiple rookie podiums and secured an impressive second-place overall finish at Brands Hatch. His racing background also includes competing in international karting at FIA World Championship level.

Cole will make his GT racing debut alongside Joseph Ellerine in our Lamborghini Huracán GT3 Evo, better known as Rambo Lambo, at the final round of the South African Endurance Series at Kyalami. From there, he will step up into Maverick, our Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2, for the 24 Hours of Kyalami.

Team Manager Gerald Ekron shared his excitement about Cole joining the team:

“We’re really proud to welcome another talented young South African driver to Into Africa Racing. Cole has already shown what he is capable of on the international stage and we’re excited to be part of his move into GT racing. As a team, we believe in giving young drivers the opportunity to gain experience, develop their skills and build their careers. We’re looking forward to working with Cole and seeing what we can achieve together.”

We’re excited to have Cole on board and look forward to supporting him as he begins this new chapter in his racing career.

Welcome to the Into Africa Racing family, Cole! 🇿🇦🏁

A very strong weekend for Into Africa Racing in the SAES Championship, with our two entries finishing P1 and P5 Overall in the combined results across Rounds 4 & 5.

The weekend brought some really challenging conditions, with the track constantly changing between wet and dry throughout both races. Knowing when to push and when to manage the conditions made for some very tricky racing.

Stuart White took P1 Overall for the weekend with Maverick, our Lamborghini Huracán Evo 2 GT3, following an win in Race 1 and P2 in Race 2.

It was also a very positive first race weekend with the team for Joseph Ellerine in our Lamborghini Huracán Evo 1 GT3, better known as Rambo Lambo. Joe was consistently fighting towards the front and brought the second Into Africa Racing entry home P5 Overall in the combined weekend results.

Joe has only recently joined Into Africa Racing, but he has already shown a lot of growth and potential. We’re looking forward to continuing to work with him and seeing what the future holds.

A big thank you to the entire team and everyone behind the scenes for another strong weekend. 👊

Now the focus shifts back to Europe, with the final round of the Italian GT Endurance Championship at Mugello coming up at the end of the month.

One more to go. 🇮🇹🏁

Into Africa Racing is confirmed for the Michelin 24H KYALAMI, and this time, we’re coming to them! 🇿🇦

We’ve welcomed them to Dubai as Into Africa Racing by Dragon. Now the South African team will take on 24 hours at a circuit they know well, with the chance to represent their country on home soil.

For a team founded by Xolile Letlaka to grow motorsport in South Africa, this one has a little extra meaning. 🤩

SAES Round 4 & 5 at Aldo Scribante 🇿🇦🏁

A big weekend ahead for Into Africa Racing.

Joseph Ellerine will make his first race start with the team in our Evo 1 Lamborghini, while Stuart White takes the wheel of our Evo 2 for the weekend. Our team boss, Xolile Letlaka, will unfortunately miss the round due to personal commitments.

With the new championship format, we have a double-header on our hands: two 70-minute races. Race 1 will count as Round 4 and Race 2 as Round 5.

Plenty to play for this weekend.

Let’s go racing 👊🏁

MONZA GT OPEN RECAP 🇮🇹🏁

A hugely positive weekend in many ways.

Practice and qualifying showed great progress, with Xolile consistently improving and setting new personal-best lap times, while both drivers produced very competitive pace throughout the weekend.

Stuart delivered a strong opening stint, fighting his way from P19 overall to P9 and taking the lead in Pro-Am. Unfortunately, an incident during Xolile’s stint took us out of the running, but that is all part of the learning and growth that comes with racing at this level.

We know our day will come. We keep learning, we keep fighting, and we keep moving forward. 👊

Onwards and upwards!
Next stop, Aldo Scribante this weekend! 🇿🇦
