As we accelerate into the second half of the season, Power Series racing presented by Wingfield Motors gets sharper. Battle lines have been drawn, gauntlets have been thrown down, and now championship points become important. All of which adds up to hot racing at a chilly midwinter Killarney – wrap up warm, grab some of the finest coffee in Cape Town and share the excitement with us.
There’s a full programme of races for the Thermo Fires Clubmans Saloons, the combined BEJO Trustees Fine Cars and Laude Classic Cars, the hugely powerful Pirelli V8 Masters together with Formula Supercars, the Spitfire Furniture Sports & GT cars and the Formula Libre single-seaters.
And for thrilling action on two wheels, there are the South Superbikes/Superbike Challenge/Masters/600s and the Bridgestone Super Twin Cup 650 and Super Sport 300 Motorcycles.
Midwinter means cold oxygen-rich air to make racing engines run better, and an uncertain level of grip on cold tar – going fast in these conditions is more about car control than sheer power.
Wrap up warm and join us on the covered balcony above the Joubert Pits – right outside the Joubert Pits Lounge, home of some of the finest coffee in Cape Town. Or you can warm your hands at the friendly fire on the Clubhouse balcony and enjoy delicious hot food from the Trackside Pub and Grill along with superb views of the fastest corner at Killarney, the double-apex Malmesbury Sweep.
There’s ample parking all around the circuit, so bring your cooler box, light up your skottelbraai, park next to one of our brick braais, or just pick a spot on one of our covered grandstands and make the day your own.
