Volkswagen Motorsport’s 2024 program includes Rookie Cup, Polo Cup, SupaCup and selected participation in Simola Hillclimb and Zwartkops Top of the Hill.
The team at Volkswagen Motorsport will continue to support our many customers participating in all forms of South African Motorsport. While circuit racing has been our focus in recent years, we are always keeping a look out for opportunities in other facets of the Sport.
Jonathan Mogotsi and Daniel Rowe will continue as the Team’s official drivers. Jonathan will have a full-time seat in Touring Cars SA SupaCup while Daniel will do duties at events like Simola Hillclimb and is one of the official coaches on the Rookie Cup program.
Joining them is Charl Visser as the 2023 Polo Cup Champion he gets an opportunity to be Jonathan’s team mate for 2024 as well as brother Kyle who is the 2023 Rookie Cup Champion who will drive in Polo Cup. Both these developmental opportunities cement Volkswagen Motorsport’s drive to develop young talent.

Volkswagen Rookie Cup
Making its debut in 2023, the Volkswagen Rookie Cup returns in 2024, and with that, welcoming a new batch of rookies who were preparing to make their transition from karting into a race car.
The Volkswagen Rookie Cup academy trains its racing recruits in every aspect of racing in a real-world hands-on race day realm. The syllabus covers it all, from driver fitness to physical and mental preparation, teamwork, collaborating with the team, data analysis and with television and media training to every other aspect of their future racing careers.
Young drivers interested can email driving@vwsa.co.za for further information on joining the Volkswagen Rookie Cup.
The Polo Cup Series
The most exciting news is the announcement of a partnership with Astron Energy who will not only be the official fuel partner for Polo Cup but the series will officially be known as the Astron Energy Polo Cup.
Now celebrating its 28th birthday, Astron Energy Polo Cup continues to provide a level playing field for the many competitors to participate without requiring massive technical development. 2024 will see the return of a “Masters” class for older competitors wishing to participate in a highly competitive environment and at the same time visit all circuits in South Africa.
Dunlop remains as the valued tyre partner.
