Farouk Dangor – A Passionate Racer and Philanthropist
Farouk Dangor, the owner of Speedy Car Sales, has a rich history in the world of motor racing. He was the first Indian racer in 1980 to represent South Africa against the world team in Hotrod racing and went on to compete in National Group N Production Cars and South African Touring cars, recording numerous successes along the way.
In 1992, Farouk became the first Indian and only Klerksdorp racer to have competed in the 24-hour endurance race at Nurburgring in Germany, regarded as one of the most difficult races in the world. Farouk has been recognized for his business achievements and was nominated as Businessman of the Year for Klerksdorp and as Wesbank Muslim Businessman of the Year in South Africa.
Aside from his achievements in the business world, Farouk is also a philanthropist and has served as treasurer of the Klerksdorp Muslim Community for the past 21 years.
Celebrating the Racing Legacy of Farouk Dangor
Farouk Dangor’s son, the late Mohamed, decided to celebrate his father’s achievements in motor racing by creating a modern-day motor museum in Klerksdorp. The museum features Farouk’s original racing cars, including the BMW 325 IS, Opel Super Boss, and BMW M3 British Touring Car, all restored to their original specs.
The museum also features original race suits and helmets from Formula 1 drivers and some of the top South African racing drivers from the golden era of motor racing in the country, including Tony Viana, Michael Biggs, Shaun van der Linde, Giniel de Villiers, Robbie Smith, and Willie Hepburn.
The legacy of Farouk Dangor’s passion for motor racing lives on through the museum and his impact on the industry will not be forgotten.
