Volspoed on Showmax

Posted on by

Volspoed is now streaming exclusively on Showmax, with new episodes every Tuesday. The adrenaline-fuelled reality series takes viewers straight into the demanding world of endurance racing, following Antonie Marx as he chases podium finishes at full speed. At his side is his wife, Ronette Marx, a former Miss South Africa finalist who keeps everything running smoothly off the track and holds the fort when the pressure peaks.

Spanning eight episodes, Volspoed goes beyond the roar of engines and the thrill of the race. It offers an inside look at a world where every second counts, where one wrong call can derail everything, and where success demands far more than horsepower. This is a story about commitment, resilience and what it really takes to keep pushing when the stakes are at their highest.

We recently caught up with Antonie, the man at the helm of the team, who gave us a front-row seat into his life, the reality show, and why this first-of-its-kind series is a must-watch.
