Dezzi Raceway partners with Ugu South Coast Tourism

IN a move to create brand reinforcement, Dezzi Raceway owners, Louise and Des Gutzeit and Ugu South Coast Tourism have entered into an initial five-year agreement, committing funds and support to ensure that this raceway garners the attention and support that it well deserves. Media, businessmen and various stakeholders gathered at the raceway on Tuesday this week to celebrate the launch of this exciting agreement.

With immediate effect, the track’s name will be changed to the Dezzi South Coast Raceway. Sanctioned earlier this year by Motorsport South Africa, the raceway boasts the only permanent drag racing facility in KwaZulu-Natal. Furthermore, it is revered as the most scenic track in South Africa and given the accessibility via excellent road infrastructure and also through the direct flights offered to Margate from Johannesburg, the Dezzi South Coast Raceway is set for one thing, establishing itself as THE eastern seaboard raceway destination of choice.

And it doesn’t end there. While fast becoming recognised as the motoring hub of KwaZulu-Natal, it is also becoming synonymous as the ideal venue for a multitude of sports, outdoor and corporate events and launches, seeing the likes of superbikes, marathons and cycle races taking place.

Ugu South Coast Tourism’s CEO, Justin Mackrory, said that, from a tourism perspective, a unique product with such wide appeal such as this raceway, with its significant infrastructure, can translate into a substantial increase in the number of visitors and spend from around South Africa and the world. “We are extremely privileged to be partnering with the Dezzi Raceway,” said Mr Mackrory.
