AN EVENING WITH EMANUELE PIRRO: KILLARNEY 19:00, 11 DECEMBER 2025

Join us for an entertaining evening of behind-the-scenes stories, insights into the top drivers of yesterday and today – and what makes them great! – with Formula 1 and endurance racing legend Emanuele Pirro.

He knows the stories behind the stories of international motorsport – because he was there! – and at 19:00 on Thursday 11 December at the Killarney Clubhouse he tells it like it was, for a select group of racing enthusiasts.

For most racing drivers, Formula 1 is the pinnacle of their career; for Emanuele Pirro, it was just the start!

After three years in Formula 1, he transitioned to sports-car racing; between 1999 and 2008 he won the Le Mans 24 Hours five times, the American Le Mans Series championship twice, the 12 Hours of Sebring twice and the Petit Le Mans three times.

He is currently the President of the FIA Single-Seater Commission, and a member of the FIA Safety Committee, Drivers’ Commission, FIA Circuits’ Commission, and the ACI Circuits and Safety Commission. He is also President of the Grand Prix Drivers’ Club.

He has recently co-authored a book with WPMC President Dr Greg Mills; “The Essence of Success” which explores just what it takes to achieve leadership success, be it in motorsport, business, war or politics. Signed copies of the book will be available at the event, at R390 each – or you can pre-order your copy along with your ticket via Webtickets, at a discount.

Joining us on 11 December is South African racing legend Geoff Mortimer, for an evening of motorsport insight and history. Dr Mills has recently completed a limited-edition biography – “The Left and Right Stuff” – about Geoff’s storied 70-year career in motorsport. These will also be on sale at the event.

Light snacks, tea and coffee are included and a cash bar will be available – but seats are limited, so book now!

KILLARNEY’S LIVINGSTONE BATHS INTERNATIONAL IS 8 HOURS OF MADNESS, MAYHEM & MACGYVERING!

Braai, picnic, or just relax with friends, while enjoying the 43rd running of the annual 8 Hour Livingstone Baths Endurance Race for Lightweight Motorcycles on the Karting Circuit.

Racing starts at 10:00am and goes on non-stop till 6:00pm.

It is a punishing event for riders and machines; the leading teams will complete up to 550 laps of the one-kilometre circuit during the eight hours, and even the top teams will crash at least once during that time. This is as much a test of the teams’ ingenuity in keeping the hard-ridden little bikes going as it is for the riders – an epic day of madness, mayhem and MacGyvering as the little bikes are crashed, fixed and crashed again!

It’s just one part of the CAPE MOTORSPORT FESTIVAL with SMILE 90.4 FM that also includes the Cape International Six-Hour Endurance Race featuring global stars including Le Mans winners and international champions.

The festival packs the entire weekend with action: the Cape Three-Hour Challenge, the 8 Hour, Sprint Races, a Spinkhana and much more – all for the price of one ticket! .

SUNDAY 14 DECEMBER: 10:00am – 6:00pm

ONLINE FROM WEBTICKETS: Adults  R95, under-16s R10, under-12s free

AT THE GATE: Adults R130 under-16s R20, under-12s free.

251214 Spin Outlaws Banner

SPIN OUTLAWS BRING STREET STYLE TO KILLARNEY’S SPINNING PITCH!

Uniquely South African, spinning was born in the 1980s as an outlaw sport, with cars sling-shotting nonstop around a rectangular pitch, most often in a roughly ‘figure-of-eight’ path, with their rear wheels spinning continuously until one or both rear tyres burst.

Often the driver will leave their seat and hang out of the window, climb on to the roof or run alongside the car while the engine roars and the rear wheels spin – the more outrageous the stunt the more the crowds love it!

WHO: Spin Outlaws

WHERE: Castrol Spinning Pitch @ Killarney International Raceway

WHEN: Sunday 14 December, 9:00am – 5:00pm

 

HOW MUCH?

WEBTICKETS: Adults R95, under-16s R10, under-12s free

251216 Street2Strip & Drags Testing Banner

LEARN FROM THE BEST AT STREET2STRIP & DRAGS TESTING

The final round of Street2Strip action for 2025 at Killarney, on Tuesday 16 December, will also be open as a testing session for Drag Racing competitors. The Christmas Tree will be set up and the times will be announced by the commentators, but the strip will not be prepared with Track Bite and there will be no results recorded or published.

This is an ideal opportunity for street racing enthusiasts to ask questions and learn from the best in a much less pressurised setting than at a competitive Killarney Drag Day. You’ll find the top contenders easier to talk to and more willing to give practical tips and advice on how to get the best out of your everyday driver and still take the kids to school in it on Monday!

And at the same time, you can also enjoy a full day of Rallycross – all on the same ticket! Get yours online at Webtickets for just R95 for adults, R10 for scholars under 16 and free for children under 12, or at the gate on the day at R130 for adults, R20 for under-16s and free for under-12s.

There will be a variety of food and drinks on sale from upmarket vendors (including halaal) who know just how to re-fuel motorsport fans – but you’re also welcome bring your cooler box and gazebo, light up your skottelbraai and make a day of it.

The entry fee to race is R130 for WPMC members and R220 for non-members, which includes the DRIVER’S TICKET.

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE CANNOT DISCOUNT YOUR ENTRY FEE IF YOU HAVE ALREADY PURCHASED A SPECTATOR TICKET.

Documentation and entries from 9:00am to 11:00am on the day; please bear in mind that you need to wear long sleeves, long trousers, closed shoes and a crash helmet, and you need to present a valid SA driving licence.

STREETFEST CELEBRATES CAPE TOWN’S STREET-CAR CULTURE

The street-car vibe in Cape Town is loud, proud and in your face, fuelled by enthusiasts who grew up with the Fast and Furious movies and who wouldn’t be caught dead driving a standard car.

They love start-line burnouts, violent launches off the line, drifting, stance cars, glittering wraps and megawatt sound systems. And that’s where StreetFest was born: on the streets of Cape Town.

StreetFest 2025 at Killarney on Saturday 27 December sees some of South Africa’s fastest cars and motorcycles throw down on the Killarney drag strip in front of thousands of cheering fans – but it’s more than a Drag Racing event. It’s a petrolhead party with Drag Racing on the drag strip, Spinning on the Castrol Spinning Pich and a world-ranked IASCA Sound-Off in the Joubert Pits alongside the Drag Strip.

It’s always the final motorsport event of the year and the Killarney family leave nothing at home – ‘haal uit en wys’ is  the order of the day, on the Drag Strip, on the Tar Oval and in the Sound-Off.

And yes, it’s about family: Spectator tickets from Webtickets at https://www.webtickets.co.za/v2/Client.aspx?clientcode=killarneyevents cost R95 for adults and free for children under 12. Prices on the day at the gate are R130 for adults and free for under-12s.

For that you get a whole day of tyre smoke, adrenalin and family fun, from 9:00am to 5:00pm. There’s cold drinks and hot food (including halaal) available from a number of vendors around the facility, so you’ll never have far to go for a snack or an ice-cold drink, wherever you are.

Bring your gazebo, your cooler box and your skottelbraai and celebrate the power and the glory with us – this is the day when the Street is King.

For more information contact Terri Philander at info@wpmc.co.za or (021) 557-1639 during office hours.
