SAFE DRIVING IS BORN OF EXPERIENCE
With winter behind us, the days are getting longer and traffic flow in Cape Town – one of the ten most congested cities in the world – is at last becoming more fluid. That means relearning a different set of depth perception reflexes and adjusting your driving style to suit the changing conditions.

Safe driving is born of experience – it’s knowing your car so well that you can deal with the unexpected without fuss or over-reacting.

And the best place to learn that confidence is to experience your car on a racing circuit under safe and controlled conditions at the Killarney Car Track School powered by Tracktion Driving Experiences.

Join us on Saturday 7 November | 9:00am – 1:30pm

• All cars are welcome.
  • Tracktion Driving instructors are available to assist anyone.
  • Recharge with Cape Town’s best food at our Joubert Pits Lounge.
  • Only R680 (WPMC members) or R850 (non-members) & R250 (passengers 16 year or older).
  • Race car ride-alongs for just R250 per person (16 years or older) with Tracktion at Garage 38 on Pit Lane. Contact Faizal on 082 355 5111.
  • Win big! Spot prizes at the drivers’ briefing, be sure to be there.
  • Bring your crew! Kids play area nearby and spectator access to all the action.
  • Dress code: Long sleeves, long trousers and closed shoes are a must – helmets are available to rent (R100).
  • Pre-booking essential – skip the queues, enjoy more track time!

SEE YOU THERE!

IT’S GERMANY VERSUS JAPAN TWO 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 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 at Killarney is on Wednesday 11 November from 6:30pm to 10:00pm.

Spectator tickets online from Webtickets at https://www.webtickets.co.za/v2/Client.aspx?clientcode=killarneyevents 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!

THE TOY RUN – IT’S ALL ABOUT THE CHILDREN!

On the last Sunday of November each year, thousands of bikers all over Southern Africa gather for the annual Toy Run, one of the world’s biggest motorcycle charity events and, after more than four decades, one of the best known. On Sunday 29 November, Killarney is proud to host the 44th annual Cape Town Toy Run.

Every year the Toy Run, as a registered charity, gives toys to thousands of children in foster homes, orphanages, clinics, places of safety, grassroots daycare centres and creches across the Western Cape, a silent minority for whom the opportunity to receive a gift would not exist were it not for this event.

The inaugural Cape Town Toy Run in 1983 hosted 76 motorcycles; this year’s event is confidently expected to bring together fifty times that number, as riders on motorcycles of every size and genre, festooned with toys of all descriptions, converge on Killarney.

AND YOU’RE INVITED TO JOIN US FOR A FULL DAY OF LIVE MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT, FINE FOOD, ICE-COLD DRINKS AND MARKET STALLS  –  ALL FOR THE PRICE OF A TOY!

There is no couvert charge for the celebration at the end point; your entry ticket is your toy – or toys!

The Toy Run isn’t just for bikers; it’s for anybody who is ready to give back for the benefit of those who in need.

They don’t even have to be new toys; the Toy Run receives hundreds of well-loved toys from children who, once they understand what the Run is all about, give up their favourites for a child less fortunate – and it is said that those toys bring with them a special karma.

Each year the Toy Run receives thousands of fluffy toys (the symbol of the Toy Run is, after all, a teddy bear) but there is also a great need for toys for older children, such as dolls, toy vehicles (cars, motorcycles, trucks and, especially, fire engines!) as well as sports sets, arts and crafts equipment and games.

And after you have placed your toy (or toys!) in the truck parked there for the purpose, you’re invited to join the riders – free of charge – for the festivities.

There’s live music with three rock and blues bands, and more entertainment, food and drinks to suit every taste and pocket (including halaal), a dedicated children’s play area, badge and T-shirt sales, motorcycle displays and a host of market stalls offering bikewear and bling for you and your bike.

The riders of the Italian Motorcycle Owners Club started the Toy Run in 1983. But the bikers cannot do it alone; it takes a whole community to look after all its children.

BE HERE AT KILLARNEY ON SUNDAY 29 NOVEMBER – AND BRING TOYS!

KILLARNEY IS TURNING BACK THE CLOCK FOR 3 DAYS ONLY!

Forget everything you know about modern motorsport for a moment…

On 5, 6 and 7 February 2027, Killarney International Raceway transforms into a living, breathing celebration of the golden era of racing as the AG Capital Cape Grand Prix Revival brings legendary 1960s Grand Prix cars back to the very circuit where history was made.

Expect iconic machinery, classic modified saloon cars, golden-era superbikes, sportscars, retro tunes, old-school food and enough nostalgia to transport you straight back to the Swinging Sixties.

Think:
🏎️ Historic Grand Prix cars at full noise
🎸 Beatles and Elvis vibes
👗 Vintage fashion and timeless style
🏁 A race meeting unlike anything else in South Africa

And here’s the best part — you’re part of the show.

Dust off your vintage threads and help recreate the magic of a time when racing legends were born. Whether you’re a die-hard motorsport fan or simply looking for a unique day out, this is your chance to experience history in motion.

Spectators are encouraged to embrace the era by dressing up in authentic 1960s fashion. From sharp suits, skinny ties and flat caps to miniskirts, go-go boots, polka dots, and beehive hairstyles.

Not only will you help bring the event to life, but you’ll also stand a chance to be crowned one of our Best Dressed Spectators or Couples. Raid the wardrobe, get creative and step into a time when style was as bold as the racing!
