Knysna Speed Festival (Simola HillClimb)

Pure Adrenalin!

Knysna, the heart of the Garden Route, will once again play host to the Knysna Speed Festival, an event that is sure to entertain speed lovers from all across South Africa. Accepted as the South African equivalent of the renowned Goodwood Festival of Speed held annually in the UK, this event offers a week of pure adrenalin and fun filled action for the whole family.

The festival started in 2009 with the first running of the Simola HillClimb, an event which saw some of the finest drivers and cars in the country taking part. These included legends such as Sarel van der Merwe, winner in 2009, Ian and Jaki Scheckter, Frenchman Jean-Michel Bayle, Franco Scribante, Charles Arton and many more. The list of beautiful cars that have participated in the past include Porche 956 and 917, a 1961 LDS Formula 1, a more modern 1989 Formula 1 Dallara, a variety of Ferrari’s, Lamborghini Gallardo, Jaguar XKR Coupe, Ariel Atom and a new McLaren MP4-12C.

While the HillClimb will always remain the core event, the Knysna Speed Festival has grown into an event that is more than just a single motorsport race and offers exciting activities for both participants and spectators. Classic Car Friday exclusively features pe-1975 vehicles and participants and spectators are encouraged to attend in period dress. For 2017, the King of the Hill Challenge has been split into three categories, Super Car Shootout, Modified Saloons and Sports Cars and Single Seaters.

Last year saw 14 206 people through the gate, so whether you a petrol head, speed lover or someone who just loves a good festival, don’t miss this premier event on the motorsport scene, we guarantee you will leave satisfied!
