Christoff’s childhood habit of taking things apart and putting them back together again lead to him studying electrical engineering at Pretoria Technikon (NDip). After completing his studies he joined Sabertek as digital engineer where his childhood habits were embraced and elaborated on for the past 7 years. He is a sharp-witted, shy and extremely likable guy and every mother-in-law’s dream. His ability to remain calm under adrenalin-enducing conditions has lead to him becoming one of the most smooth and consistent drivers in the history of Rally.
Christoff enjoys motorsport on and off the Rally stages, as member of the SABERTEK Karting team and has attended various driving skills courses such as VW advanced driving (Kyalami VW Golf Gti), Wesbank open track training (Wesbank raceway Alfa Romeo), Skid driver driving (zwartkops ford focus) and Mercedes benz advanced driver training (Zwartkops C63 AMG).
Co-Driver: Celesté Snyders (since 2008)
Celesté has a good-girl image and a bad-girl need for speed. She battles with a minor addiction to Swiss chocolate, a small degree of impatience and high standards and expectations, which complicates life for boyfriends, restaurant managers, government institutions and well, most mediocre service providers in SA. She is currently learning Zulu and years upon years of being really nerdy got her a couple of degrees in the bag (NDip. Marketing UNISA, BA Psychology, ICP). Her alter ego is the proud owner of a black Honda Fireblade CBR600RR, a purple Leatherman and a pink multi-purpose screwdriver. She enjoys scuba diving, spinning, yoga, reading (a lot!), doing mosaics and going to live blues gigs with friends.
