LADIES’ NIGHT 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 2 September 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!

Gymkhana is all about high-performance cars racing through a special track with lots of precision drifting, handbrake turns and smoking tyres. It’s a race against the clock where every second counts, an event for the whole family to enjoy!

The stars of the show are the purpose-built rear-wheel drive machines. These are crowd favourites as drivers use the rear wheels and loud pedal to make it around the tight U-turns; some get carried away and end up doing a few more circles than is necessary, but it’s all part of the fun!

Bring the family and enjoy the day with us – food and coffee will be available!

To join in the fun with your car, contact Witzenberg Motorklub gymkhana co-ordinator Abdul Sayed on WhatsApp at 082 336 7788, or at hiriziai@gmail.com

There’s non-stop action all day with thrilling displays of drifting, spinning, off-road action, public karting, displays, 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 passenger ride in a drift car (are you brave enough?) or in a 4 x4 vehicle on our challenging off-road course, 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.

The Killarney Motor Show is a showcase for the latest cars, bakkies, motorcycles and accessories, a celebration of Cape Town’s vibrant street-car 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 market 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.
