Overview
- Race organisers and Motorsport South Africa confirmed that veteran driver Marcel Angel died after a crash during Race 1 of the Extreme SuperCars at Killarney on Saturday.
- Medical crews and race officials responded immediately at the scene but Angel, 62, succumbed to his injuries and organisers halted the rest of the day's National Extreme Festival events.
- Details about how the crash occurred remain undisclosed and organisers have said a formal incident review and stewarding process will follow to establish what happened.
- The motorsport community offered condolences and organisers requested privacy for Angel’s family, noting his wife Mica and their son Dayne among those close to him.
- Angel was a long‑time figure in South African racing, founder of Autohaus Angel and a recent winner at Killarney in August, and his death may prompt closer scrutiny of safety and stewarding procedures at national events.
