Drivers' Hall Of Fame

Toni Fritz, Head of Vehicle and Asset Finance, Business Market at Standard Bank, another event sponsors, adds, "The Awards portion of the expo is very exciting and we are looking for your votes to ensure honours and accolades are presented to the most deserving in the industry."
