Get set for this year’s Festival of Motoring

THE third annual Festival of Motoring, presented by Wesbank, returns to the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit from August 31 to September 2.

Hosted by Messe Frankfurt SA, the motoring extravaganza follows the successful 2017 show, which focused on interactive motoring experiences and attracted more than 57 000 visitors.

This year’s festival will again provide a plethora of interactive motoring entertainment, with additional lifestyle, education and family-friendly activities – all geared for a more comprehensive family motoring experience for show visitors of all ages.

Visitors can again expect a number of new car launches, latest model displays, supercars on the track and a 4x4 area. Selfdrive activities will now be available on each of the show days on the 1.1km Kyalami handling track, with various new models available for test drives.

A number of new cars will be revealed at the festival, including the Renault Duster, Peugeot 5008 and Suzuki Jimny.

National championship motorsport will entertain spectators, with races for the Sasol GTC Championship and Investchem Formula 1600 Series. An interactive pit area, with full public access, will bring cars and drivers closer to race fans.

Other highlights will be historic race cars, modern supercars, and classics, while a future technology display will showcase the latest trends and innovations in the motor industry.

Ticket prices are R200 per adult, R50 for children under 12, and R20 for children under six, if bought online at www.itickets. co.za

A weekend pass covering Friday to Sunday costs R525.
