KILLARNEY WELCOMES NEW TRACK DAY SPONSOR

 

WPMC is proud to welcome Tracktion Driving Experiences as the new sponsor of our regular Track Schools, starting with our midwinter edition from 9:00am to 1:30pm on Saturday 5 July.

Tracktion will be providing experienced driving instructors to assist all participants, no matter what you drive. You’ll find enthusiasts at our track schools in all types of cars from hatchbacks to hot rods, chatting with the instructors and then putting their advice into practice during the next track session.

And between sessions there are always cold soft drinks, delicious snacks and the best coffee in Cape Town at the Joubert Pits Lounge overlooking the main straight.

The cost for drivers is R640 for Western Province Motor Club members and R800 for non-members, while the cost for passengers is R240 each, whether or not they are Club members.

And, for the first time at a Track School, passengers will be able to get a taste of real race pace in a Tracktion Driving Experiences race car; Tracktion will be offering passenger rides throughout the morning at a cost of R220 per person.

Pre-booking is recommended for both drivers and passengers to avoid long queues and rushed paperwork. Please remember that all drivers and passengers must wear long sleeved tops, long pants and closed shoes. Crash helmets are compulsory; if you don’t have a crash helmet, they’re available for rent on the day at R100 per helmet.

You may bring as many ‘crew members’ as you wish, and you’re all welcome to walk across the bridge to the Joubert Pits Lounge, with superb elevated views of the circuit – and an overview of the children’s play area right next door, so you can watch your junior team members having fun.

Thanks to our lucky draw sponsors, Tracktion Driving Experiences,  Nian du Toit Racing, Century Karting, Wheelworx, MasterDrive, Peninsula Beverages and TyreZone, we have lots of spot prizes and Killarney memorabilia to give away – just remember you have to be there at the drivers’ briefing in the morning to claim your prize!

BEAMS vs THE REST at KILLARNEY ROBOT RACING!

Robot Racing is the purest form of motorsport there is: Two cars line up at a red robot, the robot goes green and whoever reaches the finishing line first, 402 metres (a quarter of a mile) away, is the winner. Running at night adds extra excitement and drama – it’s the closest you can get to street racing without breaking the law!
Robot Racing started way back in 2016 as a joint effort between the Western Province Motor Club at Killarney and the City of Cape Town, to get street racers off the public roads and into a safe and controlled environment where they can enjoy their cars without endangering other road users and the public at large.
With up to 260 participants and thousands of spectators cheering them on, the atmosphere is electric, the air is filled with the sound of highly-tuned engines and thick with tyre smoke – you can almost smell the adrenalin!
The next Robot Racing event powered by the City of Cape Town at Killarney is on Wednesday 9 July from 6:30pm to 10:00pm.
Spectator tickets online from Webtickets at https://www.webtickets.co.za/v2/Client.aspx… are R70 for adults; children under 12 get in free. Tickets are also available at the gate (cash or card!) at R100 for adults and free for children under 12.
There’s no extra charge to race!
If you want to participate, just remember to bring a roadworthy car, a crash helmet, a long-sleeved top and long trousers, and your current South African driving licence.
Documentation for participating is open at Gate 1 from 5:30pm to 7:30pm on the day and scrutineering for the compulsory safety checks closes at 8:00pm.
Tasty take-aways (including halaal) and ice-cold drinks are available in the spectator area, so bring the family and make an evening of it – see you there!

KILLARNEY’S ALL TAR RALLY SET TO THRILL
The 2025 All Tar Rally at Killarney on Saturday 12 July showcases another unique action-packed race with rally, rallycross and track cars challenging each other, with new, much more technical stages and an exciting new super special stage with two cars going head-to-head!
Round 4 of the Western Cape Club Rally Championship is exactly what its name suggests: it’s run over a number of short, very tight special stages using sections of the main circuit, the access roads – and even through the pits paddock!
There are six stages totaling 70 kilometres – all in and around the Killarney facility, and all on tar instead of the usual gravel roads, so it’s suitable for – and open to – circuit racing cars, rallycross cars and gymkhana cars as well as purpose-built rally cars.
WHEN: Saturday 12 July, 9:00am – 6:00pm
HOW MUCH:
WEBTICKETS: Adults R90, under-16s R10, under-12s free
AT THE GATE: Adults R130, under-16s R20, under-12s free
Spectating at a conventional rally usually entails a long trip out to the country and a lot of standing around outdoors – at the All Tar Rally you can watch most of the action sitting comfortably in the shade of the Joubert Pits Lounge balcony, with a delicious light meal, an ice-cold beverage or a mug of Cape Town’s finest coffee at your elbow!
The All Tar Rally is tight, twisty and very intense – it’s like competing in a gymkhana course 70 kilometres long! More information from Terri Philander at info@wpmc.co.za or (021 557-1639

KILLARNEY REVS UP FOR THE BIGGEST MOTOR SHOW IN THE WESTERN CAPE!

The annual Killarney Motor Show, powered by the City of Cape Town and presented by Smile 90.4 FM, is set for Sunday 2 November – and it’s going to be the best yet!

There’s non-stop action all day at the biggest motor show in the Western Cape with thrilling displays of drifting, spinning, off-road action, stunts and more, as well as live music and entertainment for the whole family, fuelled by a mouth-watering variety of fine foods and beverages on offer.

You can catch a ride in a drift car (are you brave enough?), race a kart on our one-kilometre karting circuit and set your inner child free with rides for children of all ages at the fun fair.

There’s more than enough on the programme to keep you amazed and entertained from “Gates Open” at 10:00am to “Last Call” at 4:00pm, with more than 2000 displays, vendors and interactive experiences providing all -day entertainment for the whole family.

This year, we’ve set aside 500 tickets for an online Early Bird special at Webtickets:  R95 for adults, R85 for pensioners over 60, R35 for under-16s and free for under-12s!

Once those are gone, you’ll pay R130 for adults online, R98 for pensioners over 60, R45 for under-16s and free for under-12s.  Tickets will also be available at the gate on the day at R160 for adults, R60 for under-16s and free for under-12’s. WPMC members, as always, get in free on production of their membership book at the gate.

Ticket sales from WebTickets open on  Monday, 9 June.

Streamlined access through the gates and free on-site parking will ensure a hassle-free day at the Show for all our visitors and vendors.

The Killarney Motor Show is a showcase for the latest cars, bakkies, motorcycles and accessories, a celebration of Cape Town’s vibrant streetcar culture and a gallery of lovingly restored and maintained classic vehicles. But it is also so much more, with dozens of racing vehicles on display and hundreds of stalls offering a huge variety of motoring accessories and memorabilia.

The paddock behind the Clubhouse brings together hundreds of exotics bearing names such as Porsche, Jaguar and Alfa Romeo, but you’ll also see race cars old and new, as well as restored family cars from bygone days.

Nothing teaches automotive history to the next generation of petrolheads quite like getting up close and personal with historic vehicles – most of which arrive on their own wheels; the Killarney Motor Show is for real – live, unedited, right here and right now.
