Engen Xtreme Powers #MazdaMasters2026 Sim Racing Championship This article has been supplied. Engen Xtreme proudly partnered with the #MazdaMasters2026 Sim Racing Championship to celebrate performance, innovation, and motorsport heritage through a modern racing experience inspired by the 35-year anniversary of Mazda's historic victory at Le Mans with the Mazda 787B. More than three decades after rewriting motorsport history, the Mazda 787B remains one of the most iconic race cars ever built. In 1991, Mazda became the first Japanese manufacturer to win the prestigious endurance race outright, while the 787B became the first - and remains the only - rotary-powered race car to claim overall victory. The achievement cemented Mazda's reputation for challenging convention and pursuing innovation through engineering excellence. The national simulated (sim) racing initiative brought together the top 40 competitors from across South Africa in a digital racing competition, culminating in a live championship final which was hosted at Mettlestate on 20 June 2026. Inspired by the endurance, precision and performance that defined the original Le Mans victory, finalists competed remotely from across the country on their simulation racing rigs, while audiences and sponsors joined an interactive six-hour live broadcast featuring racing action, interviews, and prize presentations from the studio alongside the race hosts, with the competition remaining fully digital. As part of the partnership, Engen Xtreme Lubricants sponsored the Engen Xtreme Oil Grid Legends Top 10 Finish Award, which recognised ten high-performing competitors beyond the podium and reinforced the brand's commitment to endurance, performance, and the next generation of motoring enthusiasts. The main prize pool awarded R30,000 to the 1st place winners, along with vouchers worth R10,000 per winning team member. The 2nd place finishers received R15,000, while the 3rd place finishers received R5,000. Competitors placing 4th to 13th each received R1,000 as part of the Engen Xtreme
