Toyota South Africa ready to fuel Nedbank Gravel Burn adventure

As a founding Headline Sponsor and Official Vehicle Partner, we’re proud to announce that Toyota South Africa Motors is now on board. Toyota’s pioneering spirit is the perfect match for our mission – to showcase South Africa’s most spectacular and diverse landscapes, thriving cycling culture and unmatched adventure. 

Toyota’s support as the Official Vehicle Partner underscores its alignment with Nedbank Gravel Burn’s values of exploration and excellence. Kevin Vermaak, Nedbank Gravel Burn Founder, said, ”When we conducted our first Nedbank Gravel Burn exploration trip to the Karoo, virtually all of the very few vehicles that we passed on these roads to desolation were Toyotas. It was very clear to me then that we simply had to secure Toyota as our vehicle partner. In the words of the local farmers hosting Nedbank Gravel Burn,  ‘This is Toyota Country”

Glenn Crompton, Vice President of Marketing at Toyota South Africa, remarked, 

“The partnerships we cultivate – as Toyota – are designed to drive our commitment to fostering meaningful connections, celebrate our culture, and elevate events that unite communities. From backing the Toyota Cheetahs and the Comrades Marathon, to supporting cycling through our association with Cape Epic, Wines2Whales and the Toyota Specialized team; we’re proud to help create moments that inspire greatness.”

During the event, Toyota will host guests in one of the Burn Camp’s dedicated Lapas (a circle of 20 tents around a campfire – a unique ‘Nedbank Gravel Burn’ design) providing an immersive experience that reflects the race’s community spirit and adventurous ethos.

Toyota joins the existing sponsors WeWork, Assos, Shamwari Private Game Reserve and more in a growing ecosystem of premium partners to the Nedbank Gravel Burn – with the title sponsor to be announced on 11 February.
