Racing back at Kyalami this weekend

The V8s can be expected to stir up a storm

MOTOR racing returns to Kyalami at the thrilling Motorsport Festival on Saturday, April 22.

On-track highlights will include the Sasol GTC, as well as a fleet of new to SA GT3 cars set to take to the track for the first time in the G&H Transport Extreme Supercar races.

You can also be guaranteed of extreme national championship action in both the Engen Volkswagen Cup and Investchem Formula 1600 races. Also back by popular demand is a V8 race featuring both the SAMCAR V8 Supercars as well as the Cape V8 Masters.

The National Sports Car Challenge and the SKF Legends of the 9 Hour historic racing cars add great interest to a full and most entertaining day of car racing.

The second round of the Sasol GTC championship will see the cream of South Africa’s race drivers fighting it out with SA champion Michael Stephen’s Audi, Gennaro Bonafede and Johan Fourie’s BMWs. The best of Volkswagen, Mini and Honda’s hot hatches will slug it out in the GTC 2.

Several new GT3 racing supercars are expected to make their Kyalami debut, including a newly imported Ferrari 458 racer, SA’s first racing Lamborghini Huracan and the latest Porsche 911.

The V8s can be expected to stir up a storm and more than just a little late summer Highveld rolling thunder.
