SKF has sponsored the highly successful Auby Boyz race team for over four years and manager of SKF South Africa’s Automotive Division, Gary Czapski, says that this has been a formidable partnership. They were the highlight of the SKF Race Day, which offered SKF customers the opportunity to enjoy some serious go-karting endurance racing and show off their racing skills. In addition to Brandon Auby’s V8, the Auby Boyz generously made available some of their illustrious supercars, including a Ford GT40, a Noble, a Nissan GTR and a Ford Capri Piranha, so that customers could be treated to hot laps around the Midvaal track.
“In addition to the indisputable quality and reliability of SKF products, the SKF team also gives us tremendous support, offering the full package – technology, product, assistance and advice,” says Marc Auby. “The aim of the race day was to offer our customers a unique experience, the thrill of going round a race track with an experienced driver at over 200 km per hour, and judging from our customers’ enthusiasm and their positive feedback the race day was a resounding success,” concludes Gary.
