All Engines Running for the Wesbank SA Motoring Experience 2017
All Engines Running for the Wesbank SA Motoring Experience 2017
By Ane Theron
Last year’s SA Festival of Motoring was an automotive extravaganza, and this year’s is going to be even bigger, with more exhibitors, more manufacturers, more food stalls, more stuff to do and more things to get the petrol in your veins pumping! As digital partner for the festival, AutoTrader will keep the rest of South Africa informed, live from the event, via all of our social media channels. If you have a passion for cars, this is the one event you cannot miss. Once again, this will all be happening at the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit, from 1-3 September.
“Last year’s festival was a full-on festival, but in order to keep it fresh and new, we thought we’d take one element that worked especially well, and that is the driving experience. For 2017, we’re aiming for less music noise, and more car noise!”, says Konstantin von Vieregge, CEO of Johannesburg-based SA Shows Messe Frankfurt.
MORE adrenaline
2016’s event saw the more hands-on experiences such as track events garnering the most attention. For this year, the organisers have doubled-up on the amount of these action-packed activities. Festival-goers will be able to take part in thrilling test drives / hot laps around Kyalami, as well off-road driving experiences on their improved off-road track. Visitors will be able to sit inside SA’s leading 4x4s, as these vehicles are being put through their paces in challenging conditions.
The Johannesburg Boat & Water Show
Another bonus is the Johannesburg Boat & Water Show that coincides with the Wesbank SA Motoring Experience 2017. This means your ticket gives you access to both of these esteemed events. As such, the boating and 4x4 exhibits can be combined, and the boat-towing capacity of the above mentioned SUVs can also be tested in real-life conditions
Classic Car Competition
Another big attraction for this year’s event is an elite classic car competition, which will include a multitude of rare and special cars. A bevy of SA motorsport legends will also attend this event. It will be organised by none other than Will Kinsmen, the Head of Content at the epic Goodwood Festival of Speed in the United Kingdom!
Entertainment for ALL
This year, plenty of other elements that will entertain visitors have also been put into place, such as the Red Lions Flying Squad. They will be delighting crowds with their air-acrobatics three times a day. There will be live streaming of all different areas and all activations, and a commentary team will be keeping everyone in the know.
Von Vieregge encourages people to bring the entire family, as there will be lots to do for the little ones as well. Interactive areas for kids as well as designated play areas will keep the offspring happy and out of trouble, while petrolhead (and non-petrolhead) parents have an amazing day out!

Tickets can be bought from www.itickets.co.za and range from R10 for kids under 12, to R150 for adults. Under-18s pay R75. Parking is free and ticket holders get access to all activities.
