Time to grab your own 2023 Hillclimb tickets Blake Linder

KNYSNA - Ticket sales for the 2023 Simola Hillclimb, which will be the 13th running of the event, officially opened last week. The event is scheduled to take place from 4 to 7 May and will again be a mustattend for any motorhead.

"The Simola Hillclimb is one of the most accessible and exciting automotive lifestyle events on the calendar, and our goal is always to deliver a truly world-class showcase of the very best cars and drivers in one of the most beautiful locations in the country," says Ian Shrosbree, MD of Knysna Speed Festival, which owns the Simola Hillclimb.

There is great news about the ticket prices, too. "We know that the current economic climate continues to impact consumers heavily, so we made the decision not to increase the general entry ticket prices for next year," Shrosbree says.

"Spectators still have the option to build their own Simola Hillclimb packages with optional upgrades and extras, including pit access tickets, Turn 2 grandstand seating and

VIP parking."

Pit access tickets are limited in the interests of safety, and allow fans to get into the heart of the bustling pit lane action to view the cars and drivers up close. VIP parking near the pit lane is recommende­d for those who have upgraded their tickets to include pit access. The Turn 2 grandstand provides a superb vantage point to see the cars charging off the start line, through the first two corners and up the first part of the steep Simola Hill.

"Our exclusive VIP hospitalit­y packages provide the ultimate five-star Simola Hillclimb experience, and are usually sold out well before the event, so book early to avoid missing out," Shrosbree says.

The all-inclusive Le Mans Hospitalit­y Lounge tickets include first-class catering, a spectacula­r viewing point overlookin­g the start line, as well as general entry and pit access.

You can buy your tickets via the event's website. Prices vary depending on whether you purchase tickets online or at the gate, and all pricing informatio­n can be found online at www.simolahill­climb.com.
