 Zwartkops Raceway hosted an electric weekend of high-speed drama, serving as the thrilling backdrop for the Extreme Festival finale.

Motorsport fans were treated to fierce track battles as seven national champions were officially crowned.

In the headlining Extreme Supercars Driven by Dunlop category, Charl Arangies steered his Mercedes-Benz AMG GT3 EVO to ultimate victory, securing the overall championship crown. 

Arangies claimed a critical win in the opening race against rival Jonathan du Toit (Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO). 

Although du Toit fought back to win the remaining two heats, Arangies held onto his points lead to seal the title.

Meanwhile, Karah Hill dominated Class A in her Audi R8 LMS GT3 in all three races and landed on the overall podiums.

Two-wheel action delivered equal intensity in the SunBet ZX10R Masters Cup, where former series champion Clinton Seller put on a masterclass.

Seller outpaced newly crowned 2026 champion Damion Purificati to claim a stunning double victory across both races.

With the remaining titles still on the line, the excitement now moves toward the final calendar rounds at Red Star Raceway and the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit.
