Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on December 05, 1946)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Sarel Van der Merwe! With eleven South African Rally Drivers Championships under your belt, you've proven that age is just a number—though we're pretty sure your speedometer disagrees. Your incredible victories and fearless driving have left tire marks on rally tracks and unforgettable memories in our hearts.

Whether sliding sideways through corners or leaving competitors eating dust, you've always shown us how it's done with style and humor. May this birthday bring you as much joy as all those podium finishes combined—and remember, you're not getting older; you're just shifting gears into another epic lap!
