What does it take to build a motorsport voice from Mthatha into the world of Formula 1?
In this episode of Beyond Game Day, Vata Ngobeni sits down with Lufefelwenkosi Mayekiso for a conversation that moves from personal story to national sporting ambition. They unpack how an early love for Formula 1 turned into a serious media platform, why motorsport is growing among black audiences in South Africa, and what it means to enter a space that still often treats black expertise as unexpected.
The episode also gets into the bigger F1 picture: the changing face of the grid, the cultural growth of the sport, and the long-running question of whether South Africa should host a Formula 1 race again. Lufefelwenkosi makes the case that the country has the facilities, the appetite and the pedigree to make that dream real.
This is an episode about Formula 1, but it is also about access, ambition and taking up space in a sport that is still evolving.
