Bezuidenhout and Spies to Lead Corsa Dei Gemelli into New Era of SA Single-Seaters

After months of anticipation and several frustrating postponements, Corsa Dei Gemelli (CDG) is finally set to make its long-awaited race debut in the inaugural Investchem MSA4 Championship. South Africa’s premier single-seater series roars to life at Zwartkops Raceway this weekend, and the Johannesburg-based outfit is ready to take its place on the grid.

The team enters the 2025 season with a bold vision: to develop South African talent through a professional and well-supported environment. That ambition will be put to the test at the tight and technical Zwartkops circuit, where precision, racecraft, and composure often determine success.

Leading the team’s driver line-up is 17-year-old Mikel Bezuidenhout, the 2024 Formula 1600 Rookie of the Season. Mikel returns to single-seaters brimming with confidence after a successful test program and a strong showing in pre-season preparations. He’ll be joined by Kian Spies, a 21-year-old seasoned karter making his full circuit racing debut. Despite his rookie status, Kian brings a wealth of experience from the highly competitive Senior MAX karting category. Both drivers will aim to deliver strong opening performances, not only to gain valuable points but also to set a marker for the rest of the championship.

Crucial to CDG’s journey into the MSA4 paddock has been the support of its sponsors. The team proudly welcomes Huawei, MTN CosmoNet, and Mix FM 93.8 to its growing family of partners. Their backing has provided the foundation for a competitive campaign, ensuring the team is equipped both on and off the track. From technical infrastructure to media coverage and communications, these partnerships have been instrumental in bringing the CDG vision to life.

Zwartkops Raceway, known for its elevation changes and flowing layout, offers an ideal setting for the MSA4 curtain-raiser. The circuit’s demanding nature will reward driver discipline and mechanical grip, areas where CDG’s meticulous preparation is expected to pay off. For the team, the opening round represents more than just the start of a championship; it’s the launchpad for a new chapter in South African motorsport development.
