THE MOYENI
In the lead up to last night’s episode of Fuel, the F-X reporters caught up with one of the F-X racers to find out exactly how powerful the bond is between man and machine. We went under the hood with Touch Mkhize.
While the F-X reporters did attempt to get details on Touch’s engine, he declined to go into any details that might give his opponents an advantage over him, but he did go into details about what made his beloved vehicle — named The Moyeni — so special.
“The first thing that you have to understand is this isn’t just a vehicle, it’s a being. It has it’s own personality; it’s own language; it’s own identity. It’s a crime to call it a car. This beauty puts race horses to shame and we know how much those horses mean to their owners.”
While the analogy was initially lost on us, it eventually took on a deeper meaning when we looked at the similarities between horse racing and Formula-X racing.
Touch would go on to tell us that he named the engine after a wrestling move called the whisper in the wind that described the poetry-in-motion nature of the engine to a tee.
