South Africa’s premier motorsport series, the national championship Extreme Festival powered by the City of Cape Town, is back at Killarney for the first time in almost exactly a year on Saturday 5 March. With Covid-19 Regulations now eased to allow up to 2000 spectators at sporting events you can be there when the action goes down as the most hotly-contested racing categories in SA Motorsport face off for the first time in 2022.
There are races for the G&H Transport Extreme Supercars, GTC & Supa Cup cars, the CompCare Polo Cup, the Gazoo Racing SA Cup, Investchem Formula 1600’s and Formula Ford Kent single-seaters and, for motorcycle fans, the incredibly competitive SunBet ZX-10R Masters Cup.
Pre-book your spectator tickets via Computicket or pay at the gate – R100 for adults, R40 for scholars under 16 and free for children under 12; Western Province Motor Club members also get in free on production of their membership book at the gate.
But wait, there’s more: You also get a free blues/rock concert! After the final race of the day we bring you the SA Blues Society ‘Future Flow’ Tour, with high adrenalin rockers Die Horries joining headliners Levinia on stage at the Clubhouse for an unforgettable evening of live music.
There’s family fun for everyone at the Extreme Festival powered by the City of Cape Town, with children’s play areas where the youngsters can burn off their excess energy, including the famous Kiddies’ Korner, the coolest party zone on the West Coast, which is available for hire year-round; on Race Day your kids get to use it absolutely free!
Bring your beach umbrella or gazebo, bring your picnic basket and your cooler box, light up your skottel braai or park next to one of our brick braais. There are outlets all around the facility serving good food and ice-cold beverages at reasonable prices. These include the Trackside Pub & Grill, upstairs in the Clubhouse, which is open to all and the Tuckshop alongside the beer garden at ground level alongside the various displays and vendors.
The Joubert Pits Lounge alongside the Porsche Straight, features signature specials, while Louis Powell at the Bull Bar and Wataburger are there for the old-school spectators on the stands and Halaal food is available from Hoosain’s, just next door to the Joubert Pits.
Nobody says you have to watch all the races from the same spot; you can catch a free shuttle ride and watch the action from different vantage points throughout the day. The paddocks are also open to spectators so you can see the cars and motorcycles up close.
Killarney cares about your health and well-being, so all competitors, crew members, officials and spectators are screened on entry, and you must wear a mask covering your nose and mouth, and keep a safety social distancing space of at least 1.5 metres between persons at all times.
