In 2016, after two long years of extensive refurbishment, Kyalami reopened its doors to the world of motorcycling for three days of thundering two-wheeled, rip-roaring live action in the South Africa Bike Festival.

The 2016 event attracted over 24 500 visitors, 88 industry-related exhibitors, 16 motorcycle manufacturers, 13 of SA’s favourite bands/musicians and 21 hospitality brands.

The 2017 SA Bike Festival will again see Fuchs Lubricants showcasing the Silkolene and TITAN range of products for motorbikes and motorsport at the three-day event.

“Motorcycle and motorsport racers across all key racing categories are experiencing improved performance and reliability with Fuchs products,” said Fatima Moolla, product manager Automotive, Fuchs Lubricants SA.

Lance Isaacs Racing team duo, Lance Isaacs and Justin Gillesen, will be racing in the Super GP and SuperM Class. He was crowned 2016 SuperM class champion.

Other teams sponsored are Monroe Racing Team SA, Savannah Woodward and CJ Hackart who compete in the 600cc bike category and Lyle Ramsay in the Comsol VW Challenge in his Monroe Racing VW Polo.

Fuchs Lubricants also sponsors a number of teams that participate in various motorsport racers including Team Truggy and MAD Racing, who won the 2016 Investchem Formula Ford championship title with Dewald Brummer the current SA champion.

Alex Marques races in the SuperHatch racing series and recently upgraded his vehicle to a VW Polo. Terry and Larry Wilford participate in the V8 Supercar Modified series where both drivers had a successful 2016 season.
