Richard Leeke III

Richard Leeke III is a South African rally driver who currently competes in the national rally series. He is the son of Richard Leeke II.

Richard started his racing career at age 4 in the 50 cc Kadet karting class, and graduated to GP Juniors before taking a break when he was 11. He started rallying at age 15 and won his first rally event in the Northern Regions Rally Championship in a Toyota Tazz. It was only his fourth Rally event ever – he was still only 15, the youngster competitor in the field. He now looks to test his skills at the top level of local rallying and we expect the Leeke name to be high on the results sheet once more.

In 2018, at the Trade Brand Natal Rally, Richard, and his co-driver Henry Kohne, finished 1st and won, in a Ford Fiesta (#96). .
