How you can be part of the Top Gear show

Organisers are looking for 60 souped-up cars to parade on circuit at the Top Gear Festival Competition closes on May 2 and winners will be announced in the press and on the radio

O YOU think you have the hottest, most modified wheels around? Is your car souped up to the max and ready to be seen by thousands of people? The team at Top Gear Festival want you to be part of the festivities for this year’s show.

Make sure you get your soupedup car into the running to be part of The Top Gear Festival taking place from 15-16 June 2013 at the Moses Mabhida Stadium.

Enter today and don’t miss out. Competition closes on May 2 and the winners will be announced in the press and on East Coast Radio a few days later.

Sixty winners will be chosen to parade their souped-up cars on the Top Gear Festival Street circuit. This is the same street circuit where visitors will also get the chance to witness Top Gear’s tame racing driver The Stig in action, two-time Formula One winner Mika Hakkinen doing hot laps, as well as enjoy local racing cars battling it out.

Your souped-up car will also be on display all day in the Show and Shine enclosure in People’s Park. Winners are encouraged to bring the whole family for a day out of

Dmotoring fun and excitement.

Getting us off the starting block with the first entry into the soupedup car competition, is a fully restored, rare 1937 Dodge D5 sedan, owned by Robin Lalla of Durban. With custom sound installation and chromed bits, the head turner features 18” deep dish Lenso wheels and a 3.0-litre V6 engine with an automatic gearbox. So if you think you’ve got better wheels, all you need to do is complete an online entry form on website www.topgearfestival.co.za/souped-up, together with three images of your souped-up car. The top 60 cars owners will be contacted by the Top Gear Festival team once the judges have made a decision. Rules:
