The iconic Mustang Midlands Tour is set to rev its engines across the picturesque landscapes of South Africa from 30th April to 4th May 2025.
Last year's Sons of Thunder Mustang Tour, at start at Ford LazarusPowered by MotorSport Promoters in partnership with Ford Lazarus, Motul, Maizey, Avery Dennison, and Nyala Paraiso, this extraordinary event invites Mustang owners and enthusiasts to undertake a thrilling journey uniting purpose and social impact with adventure.
Last year the organisers joined forces with the Sons of Thunder outreach programme and took Mustang owners on an epic adventure into Mozambique. This year's Midlands Tour promises a unique experience, driving through three provinces—Gauteng, Free State, and KwaZulu-Natal—and covering a spectacular 1,800 km across nine towns. Participants will delight in stunning scenery while creating change and making a social impact for those in need.
Saydi Barbosa of MotorSport Promoters shared, "The Midlands Tour isn't merely a road trip; it's a journey with a mission. We aim to create unforgettable memories while positively impacting the communities we pass through."
This tour will once again support the Sons of Thunder Mustang Community outreach programme and highlights include visits to community projects, where each mile presents opportunities to contribute and uplift those in need. Participants will deliver essential resources to select organisations, such as the Ya Kgathalla Education and Youth Project in Witsieshoek, Clouds of Hope in Underberg, and Servings of Grace in Umhlanga, among others.
“Partnering with this initiative is a natural fit for Motul. It reflects our passion for performance, our love of the open road, and our commitment to making a positive difference in the communities we touch. We’re proud to support a tour that brings people together through both adventure and meaningful impact,” said Mercia Jansen from Motul, expressing enthusiasm about the partnership and its purpose.
