Get ready for the Heidelberg Great Train Race

The Heidelberg Great Train Race returns to town on September 30.

The iconic race will be at the Heidelberg Airfield in honour of the magnificent 1930s Bentley Coupe vs France’s Le Train Bleu race.

The local train race will salute this historic moment with a convoy of vintage and classic cars and motorcycles, a steam train and vintage aircraft.

With Rovos Rail as one of the event organisers, those attending the event can step back in time and appreciate the simplistic sophistication of a bygone era.

Interested parties can look forward to the vintage Bentley and steam locomotive salute at 09:00 on the day.

Along with the convoy, the following will also be available:

• Demo flight helicopter rides.

• A motorcycle race led by a vintage Bugatti.

• A miniature railway line for children.

• A beer tent and gin bar.

• Coffee bar.

• Various vendor stalls.

• A chance to win a ride in a vintage Bentley by wearing vintage clothing.

Event tickets are available on Quicket or at the gates on the day. They cost R50 per adult and R30 per scholar.
