Botterill and TGRSA chase complete lockout at Bushveld 400
Having won all four rounds contested so far, the TGRSA team arrives in Thabazimbi on 13 and 14 November aiming to complete a clean sweep of the 2026 SARRC calendar.
Toyota Gazoo Racing South Africa (TGRSA) prepares to defend its title at the Northam Zondereinde Bushveld 400, the concluding race of the 2026 South African Rally-Raid Championship (SARRC). The victory is virtually guaranteed for Guy Botterill, who leads the drivers' standings by 30 points after securing his third consecutive win at the VAPS HCV Vryheid 400.
His dominance in race wins throughout the season is insurmountable, as he approaches the final round with a monumental lead. The team's triumph is a testament to the reliability and performance of the Toyota GR Hilux IMT EVO. The navigators' championship remains undecided, with Henry Köhne, Botterill's navigator, leading by 15 points over the nearest rival.
Saood Variawa and Charan Moore, who began the season with victories at the INGCO Parys 400 and Vryheid, respectively, aim to wrap up the season in strong fashion. TGRSA will deploy two Toyota GR Hilux IMT EVOs in Thabazimbi, with Saood Variawa absent from the final round. The five-round SARRC concludes with a perfect season on the line for TGRSA.
