Speed Classic Cape Town: A New Era of Hillclimb Set to Ignite the Mother City

Cape Town is about to experience a motorsport weekend like no other. The inaugural Speed Classic Cape Town, taking place on 25–26 October 2025, will transform the iconic Philip Kgosana Drive into a high-octane hillclimb showdown — powered by an all-star lineup of partners helping turn this vision into a world-class celebration of speed, style, and pure racing passion.

Leading the charge is Volvo South Africa, taking the wheel as the event’s official automotive partner. A premium fleet — from the flagship XC90 to the cutting-edge fully electric EX30 — will headline safety, support, and shuttle duties throughout the weekend. Fans can also witness the EX30 in action during an exclusive on-track experience that highlights Volvo’s seamless blend of performance, innovation, and world-class safety.

If the roar of racing engines doesn’t get your heart racing, then a Red Bull Racing demo display will definitely grab your attention on Sunday, 26 October. With Red Bull DJs keeping the energy alive and the brand fuelling drivers between runs, fans can expect the atmosphere to be electric from start to finish.

Adding a touch of style, PUMA will ensure every driver looks the part with exclusive goodie bags for all entrants. Spectators can get in on the action too — every ticket includes a 20% discount voucher for PUMA’s official online store, bringing a dose of racing flair to fans across the city.

Cape Town radio stations, Kfm 94.5 and CapeTalk, are turning up the volume with pre-race coverage, exclusive interviews, and live competitions as anticipation builds toward the event. Expect the Mother City to buzz with Speed Classic fever as the countdown continues.

From ice-cold refreshments courtesy of Coca-Cola Peninsula Beverages (CCPB) to seamless event connectivity powered by Octotel and Clear Access, Speed Classic Cape Town is being engineered for maximum fan experience. The event also enjoys the invaluable backing of the City of Cape Town, whose early support has been crucial in bringing this world-class motorsport festival to life.

“Partnerships are at the heart of bringing an event like Speed Classic Cape Town to life,” says Event Director Garth Mackintosh. “Our sponsors share our vision of creating a motorsport celebration that captures Cape Town’s energy, creativity, and passion for performance.”

From Volvos to Formula 1 icons, pulsing DJ sets, and panoramic mountain views — Speed Classic Cape Town isn’t just an event; it’s the start of a new motorsport tradition. If you love the sound of engines echoing off Table Mountain, this is one weekend you won’t want to miss.
