DISCOVER ZIP‑CLIP SOLUTIONS
Product Application
He’s fast. He’s fearless. He’s 11 years old.
And he has dreams of becoming Australia’s next motorsport sensation.
Earlier this year, Sammy van Vuuren, a young go-kart racer with talent to burn, sent out a series of handwritten letters looking for sponsors to support his journey on the track. One of those letters landed in the hands of Zip-Clip.
We couldn’t say no.
“Hi, my name is Sammy…”
That’s how the letter started and what followed was a story of grit, ambition, and a dream to race at the very top. Sammy wasn’t asking for much – just help to cover the cost of driver coaching so he could sharpen his skills.
Today, that same child is flying around tracks across Australia with the Zip-Clip logo proudly displayed on his kart.
But this sponsorship isn’t just about logos, it’s about legacy.
Fast Laps, Big Wins, and F1 Recognition
Earlier this year, Sammy competed in Junior Top Guns, a high-profile race held in Melbourne. The competition was fierce, but Sammy delivered. The top 5 boys and girls from the event were invited to apply for an exclusive experience at the Formula 1 Grand Prix.
Sammy got picked.
And just like that, a young racer from Melbourne in Australia was on the fast track to rubbing shoulders with motorsport royalty.
Why Zip-Clip?
We’re a company that celebrates precision, performance, and people who push boundaries. Sammy represents everything we believe in and more.
- He gives us a shoutout from the podium.
- He tags us on Instagram @sammyjvv37
- He turns heads (and wheels) at every event.
- And yes, even electrical contractors and consultants at the track recognise the Zip-Clip name.
We haven’t just sponsored a racer, we’ve joined a movement.
The Future Is Fast
This partnership may have started with a handwritten letter, but it’s turned into something way bigger. Sammy’s learning how to market himself, build relationships, and represent a brand – real-world skills that will serve him long after the checkered flag.
And for Zip-Clip? It’s a chance to support the next generation while putting our brand in front of audiences we might never have reached.
Go fast. Stay sharp. Think forward.
That’s the Zip-Clip mindset – and Sammy VanVuuren is living it, lap after lap.
