July 2016 - First Car Rental is excited to announce its official sponsorship deal with Signature Motorsport, one of South Africa's top junior racing teams competing in the 2016 Engen Volkswagen Cup Championship. Over the last four years, Signature Motorsport has won three Engen Volkswagen Cup Championships, and are aiming for a fourth win in 2016. The five talented young drivers on the Signature Motorsport team are:

  1. Keagan Masters (16) - currently lying 1st in the Cup Championship

  3. Matt Shorter (16)
