Culture Automotive Shines at Concourse South Africa 2023

4 November 2023

In a pursuit of excellence, Rhyno and his A-team from Culture Automotive, accompanied by a passionate car enthusiast client, embarked on a journey to compete for the coveted title of Best of Show at the Concourse South Africa event. Hosted by an array of automotive authorities, the event presented a unique opportunity for Culture Automotive to showcase their meticulous craftsmanship and dedication.

Preparation for the event was extensive. Over three weeks, the team devoted themselves to perfecting a stunning Ferrari 355 Berlinetta Serie Fiorano, ensuring it was in pristine condition for the concourse. The day of departure from Culture Automotive's detailing centre was filled with excitement and anticipation. Despite encountering road works and rainfall enroute to Munyaka Waterfall Estate, the team's spirits remained high.

 Rhyno shared his mixed emotions during the journey to the event, "Driving behind Ian and watching 60 hours of man-hours going through a blender down a storm drain, I couldn’t help but laugh out loud with a cold sweat."

 Upon arrival, Rhyno and his team faced the challenge head-on, quickly setting up and re-prepping the Ferrari for the judges. Their efforts paid off as they entered a second car, a Porsche 993 Turbo, which won the Show and Shine overall. The Ferrari, despite the setbacks, achieved Best in Class and secured the title of Second Runner-Up to Best of Show.

 Reflecting on the experience, Rhyno remarked, "This was a wonderful experience and tested the team to bring more 'thunder' next time."

The Concourse South Africa 2023 event not only highlighted the exceptional skill and dedication of Culture Automotive but also fuelled their determination to continue pushing the boundaries of automotive excellence. The team's performance is a testament to their unwavering commitment to quality and their passion for the automotive industry.
