Two days of intense competition took place at the Conrad Pezula resort in Knysna recently to determine the winner of Toyota Fortuner 4×4 Challenge. A total of 7 activities were laid out for contestants to test their physical and mental ability. In the end, one winner would drive away in a new Toyota Fortuner to the value of more than R400000.
Each of the 4 contestants paired up with sport celebrities including former Dakar champion and Toyota Gazoo Racing South Africa driver, Giniel de Villers, Toyota Cyclelab director and multiple Cape Epic winner, Andrew Mclean, Currie Cup winning rugby player and member of the Blitzbokke, Ryno Benjamin of the Toyota Cheetahs and Currie Cup winning centre and U20 Rugby World Cup winner, Raymond Rhule from the Toyota Cheetahs.
Representing Cars.co.za in the Fortuner 4×4 Challenge was Harold Durnez, a charismatic athlete from Cape Town, who delivered a stellar performance overall with Giniel de Villiers as his partner. Their impressive performance, however, wasn’t enough to take the win and George teacher, Danie Leonard, who paired up with Andrew Mclean, scooped the ultimate prize, driving off in a new Toyota Fortuner.
