The FIM World Supercross Championship has announced South Africa’s own Cameron Durow as an SX1 wildcard entry for the upcoming South African Grand Prix, which forms Round 5 of the 2025 championship. The event will take place at DHL Stadium in Cape Town on 13 December 2025, marking a major milestone as World Supercross lands on South African soil for the first time.
Durow’s inclusion brings a homegrown contender into the premier class and adds major excitement for local fans eager to see a South African rider take on the world’s best in front of a home crowd.
A Decorated Career Built Across Every Major Motocross Class
A 9-time South African National Motocross Champion, Durow, from Pietermaritzburg in KwaZulu-Natal, has established himself as one of the country’s most accomplished riders. Having claimed national titles across every major category—from 50cc all the way through to MX1—he further bolstered his status in 2025 by securing the MX1 National Championship.
Proven International Competitor in AMA Pro Motocross
Since 2023, Durow has competed full-time in the AMA Pro Motocross Championship in the United States, going head-to-head with many of the sport’s elite athletes. His consistent progression has resulted in multiple top-30 overall finishes, highlighting his ability to rise to the challenge on the world’s biggest stages.
Representing South Africa on the Global Motocross Stage
Durow has proudly represented South Africa at the Motocross of Nations on four occasions—racing in the USA, France, the UK, and again in 2025. His performances have contributed to strong team results and elevated South Africa’s presence in international motocross.
A Special Home-Ground Moment for South African Fans
His wildcard ride at Round 5 in Cape Town is expected to be a highlight of the championship. Fans will have a rare chance to witness a South African rider lining up in the premier SX1 class at a World Supercross Championship event hosted at home.
