On The Overrun

A name that doesn’t need introducing in the South African racing scene, and a name you would have heard a lot about over the past weekend at Simola Hillclimb, racing with his B19 Chevron and heavily-modified GTR called “Sheriff”. His family is well-known in the mining industry, but also for their racing, with Franco being part of a family of racers. He has stories upon stories to tell, including racing F40’s around on Italy’s mountain roads, and how he is rebuilding the very Mustang that almost caused his death. Here are some of the highlights of the podcast: 00:00:00 Introduction 00:05:43 How did you passion come to be 00:08:25 The choice between motorsport and other ambitions 00:12:05 Knowing what you know now, would you have gone full-time motorsport? 00:16:06 Do you get a thrill from cars outside of motorsport? 00:19:41 Classic car tour experiences 00:22:00 Cape 1000 00:25:03 Most precious cars 00:25:39 300SL story 00:30:41 F40 00:35:00 Car culture in Italy 00:36:16 Race cars owned and driven 00:36:41 B19 Chevron 00:38:41 B26 Chevron 00:39:03 '65 fastback 00:39:11 Mustang Crash 00:40:03 Worklife vs Motorsport 00:43:13 Racing successes 00:46:08 Is the body still up for racing? 00:50:10 Project cars 00:53:33 Muscle Cars 00:54:27 Restomods 00:56:27 One road one car 00:57:03 250 SWB Instagram: Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ontheoverrun Linktree: https://linktr.ee/overrun

It’s definitely not an everyday thing for a 23-year-old to be driving around in Porsche’s for a living, but that is this man’s reality. His name is Andrew Rackstraw and he’s a talented and acclaimed young racing driver from South Africa, currently making his way up the ranks in the Porsche Cup Great Britain. He started his carting journey in his early teens and has already racked up some big SA championships. This man is going places, and in this podcast I find out where.

“Ferrarista” is probably one of the words best describing Carlo Viglietti. A man that has been in and around Ferrari’s his whole life - working on them, selling them and driving them. He has had the full Maranello experience and continues to live the prancing horse dream at his workshop in Cape Town. We speak about carburetors, going around corners without traction control, and also what is wrong with Lamborghinis (obviously).

COVID-19, loadshedding, the rugby world cup… all these pale in comparison to the return of On The Overrun. We kick off with a guest episode with Brad Simpson.

I first have to apologise for the extreme bias towards Porsche in this episode, but since I am shooting with Lourens Bester, the Porsche club Cape Town President, I feel it is fitting.

Here is what we spoke about: 00:00 Introduction 01:00 Lourens' history with cars 10:39 Porsche club - then and now 23:17 How the Cayenne and Macan saved Porsche 29:06 Popular vs non-popular Porsches 50:30 Lourens' dream 3 car garage For any rants or enquiries: overrunbrand@gmail.com We would love to engage with you on our socials!
