SamSam retains his Red Bull Shay’iMoto title
Samkeliso "SamSam" Thubane is the first driver to win the Red Bull Shay'iMoto twice in a row.
It appears as if SamSam cannot stop being in the lead. He outshined the other 11 contestants to retain his title at the Smokes and Wheelz arena on Saturday September 3.
SamSam represented Mpumalanga very well during the enthralling Red Bull Shay’ iMoto competition and lived up to his promise that he would do his best to hold on to his reign.
He delivered an exceptional car control, technical skills and flair to set up a mouth-watering finale that left the audience and the judges on the edge of their seats.

In the end the king of Hazyview had the crowd chanting his name, as he displayed extraordinary driving skills and jaw-dropping stunts, including an exit from his car boot as well as playing his guitar while the car was spinning.
Winning tittles seems to be SamSam’s daily bread as he previously won the championship at So You Think You Can Spin, won the 2021 Red Bull Shay’ iMoto competition and he has managed to also grab this year’s competition.

Reacting to his win, SamSam said, “I am very happy to be the first driver to win the title back to back. Earlier in the day, I was not feeling well, but I think the smell of burning tyres is my medication, because once I got into the car I felt like myself. I kept going and did my best. I still cannot believe I managed to win.”
All the live action was aired on Red Bull TV, SABC Sport DTT Channel 4, Open view 124 and Telkom One.
A repeat of the action will air on SABC Sport at a later date.
