Absolutely amazing news to hear the Algoa Rally Club are going to be part of an international series. We really look forward to seeing how this developed going forward. The Algoa Rally is going to be amazing.

🌍 Africa joins the TER family! 🇿🇦

After a 2025 as a TER Candidate Event, the Algoa Rally in South Africa officially enters the 2026 TER Series, the World Series of TER calendar.
​
The event takes place in the Gqeberha area (ex Port Elizabeth), a major seaport and the largest city in South Africa's Eastern Cape province, with a rich history in the South African National Rally Championship since 1983 – inaugural win by Sarel van der Merwe and Franz Boshoff in an Audi Quattro S1.
​
In 2026, Algoa Rally will join the confirmed Otago Rally in New Zealand (April opener, 3rd year) and Rally Terra Sarda in Italy (October finale, 4th year). Scheduled for July 9-11, 2026.
​
🗣 Oliver de Man, Algoa Rally Club Chairman: “This brings back international rallying to our shores... TER Series and SANRC will work in perfect harmony.”

SENSATIONAL SESKS STUNS THE WRC IN SAUDI – FORD PUMA RALLY1 PACKS A PUNCH!
Ladies and gents of the rally world, hold onto your helmets! Latvian sensation Martins Sesks has thrown down the gauntlet in the Saudi Arabia Rally, proving once and for all that the Ford Puma Rally1 isn’t just in the fight – it’s leading the charge.
In a performance that’s got the paddock buzzing, Sesks has stormed to the top spot after the morning loop on those brutal gravel stages, edging out Hyundai hotshot Adrien Fourmaux by a razor-thin 1.3 seconds. The young Latvian, who’s been on fire all season, hit the ground running on Thursday, clocking the quickest time on the very first special stage and setting the tone for what could be a breakout weekend.
“I just clicked with that opening stage – it felt like we’d nailed the rhythm straight away,” Sesks grinned post-stage. “But man, it’s tricky out there! Some spots are insanely tough, with massive rocks lurking where the pace notes can’t warn you. You need a sprinkle of luck, that’s for sure – it’s like a high-stakes lottery in places.”
Right from the off, it’s crystal clear that starting order is king in Saudi. The early birds are paying the price as unwilling road-sweepers, churning up the loose gravel and exposing every hidden trap. Sesks, though? He’s reaping the rewards of his prime slot, slipping through unscathed while the leaders ahead carve out deep ruts and fling rocks sky-high.
“The starting position? It’s massive here,” he added. “Sure, sweeping can bite hard – I remember Greece, where we were first out and it was pure chaos. But now, with cars ahead loosening things up, those ruts are deepening and rocks are popping out everywhere. You’ve still got to stay sharp and pick your lines wisely.”
What makes this even sweeter? Sesks admits he didn’t see this blistering pace coming. “I knew the setup was solid, and I got the road position right, but to nail it this cleanly? Nah, that caught me off guard,” he confessed. “I dropped time on a few errors, but we’re in the groove now.”
For Ford fans – and let’s face it, rally purists everywhere – this is vindication. The Puma Rally1 is showing its claws, blending raw hybrid power with that signature handling magic to hang tough against the best. As the afternoon stages loom, Sesks sits pretty, but with Saudi’s unforgiving desert twists, anything can happen. Will he hold firm and bag his first WRC podium? We’re glued to our screens here at Dirt Africa – stay tuned for live updates, stage reports, and all the dirt (pun intended) from the dunes!

RALLY SPRINT 4 ALL – OFFICIAL RESULTS!

Congratulations to JUSTIN FOUCHÉ, who tore up the track on his 350 Yamaha Banshee to claim 1st position.

This was our first quad bike entry, which brought a new dynamic to the race. Justin dominated 4 out of 5 stages, with only Ruan Varkie van Tonder managing to steal a stage win.

On the subject of firsts, we would like to give a special shoutout to our first woman entrant, Melissa Talbot. She paired up with Harry Byte and drove a 1300 Samurai Suzuki. It was such a pleasure seeing Melissa in action and giving the guys a run for their money.

Well done to Rodney Desmond Timm & Chavito Carrillo for securing a strong second, with a close third by Eddie Banks and his team of co-drivers: Garry Smith and Waydon Brandt & Zaid Prinsloo from Imperium Auto Spares - You guys where just brilliant.
