Rally 'till we run out of road

Rally Motorsport is one of the fastest growing sports worldwide and has become increasingly popular in South Africa over the last few years.
Christoff Snyders made his debut in the South African rally scene in 2004 as navigator in the North Region championship where his talent was spotted early on and lead to exciting opportunities in the National championship as co-driver for Callie van der Merwe and Visser du Plessis.
Fuelled by his eagerness for the sport and desire to be in the Drivers' seat, he built his first 1400cc Volkswagen Citi Golf and won class S1 in numerous events between 2006 and 2007. By the end of 2007 he refitted the Golf with a 1600cc engine and since then became well-known as a firm and favoured class S2 contender.
Six years of experience and consistent quality driving lead to an exceptional finish with their 1600cc Golf 1 in the National Toyota Dealer Rally in October 2009: 2nd in class S20, 12th overall, 2 minutes ahead of class N3 winners and well ahead of the production car class A5 contenders!
Rally is famous for its extreme excitement and utter unpredictability, and recently another factor has been contributing to the attractiveness of the sport... In growing numbers gorgeous, adventurous women are buckling up next to the fast and the furious, making helmet hair seem like the latest fashion fad!
Celesté Snyders has taken the hot-seat as co-driver for her brother since 2008. This "Brother&Sister" team has brought an exciting new dimension to a sport that is celebrated for bringing families and friends together for weekends of fun!
