Starting the Simola Hillclimb in Knysna this weekend will be the Classic Car Friday on May 4 followed by the King of the Hill on Saturday and Sunday.
The broadcast will be hosted by Sasha Martinengo, Ciro de Siena, Colin Hastie and Rodrigo de Oliviera.
“There has been significant growth over the past two years in the number of people from around the world that join the Simola Hillclimb online,” said Ian Shrosbree, MD of the Knysna Speed Festival, which owns the Simola Hillclimb.
“This year we’re expecting a big leap in the number of local and international viewers due to the top-calibre drivers that will be competing, comprising F1 star Mika Salo, along with WRC and WRX champion Petter Solberg and his well-known brother, Henning, who also enjoyed a long career in both formulas.”
The Simola Hillclimb livestream will be available throughout all three days of the event via the website, www.simolahillclimb.com.
“We are delighted to have an international flavour among our presenters, as Rodrigo de Oliviera, who runs the popular Hillclimb Monsters channels on social media, will be joining the broadcast remotely from Portugal to add global hill climb insight and knowledge to the commentary team,” Shrosbree said.

“It will be a pleasure to be part of the Simola Hillclimb, which is near and dear to my heart, as it has contributed to my success with Hillclimb Monsters. I rate the Simola Hillclimb very highly, as there is so much variety at this event with a large number of the cars being high-powered machines,” De Oliviera said.
