I’M A CELEBRITY, GET ME TO SOUTH AFRICA!
It’s one of the longest-running team events in oval racing: The Tour has a new lease of life with a new, fresh-faced team heading to the southern hemisphere in February 2027 - preparations for Europe vs South Africa are on!
This ultra competitive series is always a highlight of the winter Hot Rod season, and Europe’s team features names who are always at the business end of their respective non-contact classes…
The team consists of:
#110: Jack Wilks, age 21, England
#122: Jorden Vowinkel, age 20, Netherlands
#804: Kyle McNamara, age 23, Ireland
#747: Marius Bert, age 30, Germany
#22: Callum Kelman, England
#96: Callum Doak, age 17, Northern Ireland
The SA Tour is a true passion for Spedeworth’s Deane Wood, who has been at the centre of some incredible moments in these events over many years.
“For me, there’s nothing like The Tour and I can’t wait to take these talented new drivers to represent Europe and take on South Africa.”
“The atmosphere is always electric, and it is somewhere very special to me - if Europe take the win it will be another great memory for me and these oval racing stars!”
The Tour consists of 3 race meetings, two will be team racing and last meeting will be the 6 Nations Cup.

Rule Amendment for All Junior Classes, 1600cc Bangers, Ladies Bangers & ‘Back To Basic’ Bangers
Effective from Friday 17th April 2026 all inner steering wheels must be filled in. This may be done with Perspex and cable tied to the wheel or the steering wheel taped up. This has to be done due to the amount of drivers who have recently had arm or wrist injuries. Our sole purpose is to ensure everyone can go to school / work after racing.
In addition to the above the following update is for the Banger classes (1600cc, Back to Basics & Ladies).
Roll bar must be bolted in at the roof and floor with washers on the exterior of at least 100x100mm and not welled into the car at any point and must not protrude outside of the cars internal space.
