Unique Top of the Hill Race

Volkswagen Motorsport gave a spectacular performance at this weekend’s Zwartkops Top of the Hill Challenge in Pretoria. Jonathan Mogotsi excelled in the Hillclimb with his SupaPolo, while Judd Bertholdt and Brendon Staniforth emerged victorious in the Volkswagen Rookie Cup class.

“Volkswagen Motorsport shined at the inaugural Zwartkops Top of the Hill Challenge on Saturday,” Mike Rowe, Volkswagen Head of Motorsport confirmed. “Jonathan Mogotsi delivered an epic drive achieving seventh position overall among some of the country’s fastest road and race cars, while our Volkswagen Rookies and their media teammates thoroughly entertained the crowds.”

Mogotsi drove his blue SupaPolo to seventh overall, and sixth in a Modified class filled with thousand horsepower monsters. “We came here looking to break into the top ten but ended up far further up the order,” Jonathan grinned. “That’s great testament to our Volkswagen Motorsport SupaPolo up against some wickedly fast cars on this tight and twisty Zwartkops climb. SupaPolo is a giant killer of note!”

The four Volkswagen Rookies teamed up with four motoring media were paired up after practice on Friday for the Top of the Hill Challenge. The Rookies raced individually with

Judd Bertholdt, Dhivyen Naidoo and Uzair Khan setting the fastest times. Bertholdt’s teammate, Brendon Staniforth was also the quickest as their team, Maroela Media took first place, with Cars.co.za duo Dhivyen Naidoo and Jacob Moshokoa second, and ⁠⁠team Isolezwe’s Uzair Khan and Fanele Bengu being third.

“We must congratulate Jonathan on a memorable performance today, including Judd and Brendon on their Rookie team win,” Mike Rowe concluded.“ The Zwartkops Top of Hill was a truly fun event, but now we get serious again as Volkswagen Motorsport prepares to come back to Zwartkops for the Extreme Festival finals in two weeks’ time.”

  1. England’s national rugby team, renowned for their skill and determination, has achieved significant success on the world stage. They won the Rugby World Cup in 2003, a crowning achievement that remains a source of national pride.

  2. The cricket pitch is 20.12 meters (22 yards) in length and 3.05 meters (3.33 yards) in width. The length of 22 yards is considered a chain, which was used as a standard of measurement for land during the 18th century. The chain is 1/10th of a unit of measurement called furlong, which is the average length of land that a team of workers could plough in one day.
