By Ané Theron
On the the weekend of the 18th to the 19th of November, the air will be filled with the sound of snarling engines and black rubber smoke, as the world’s best daredevil drivers make their way under, over and around a variety of obstacles at high speed. Yes, we’re talking Gymkhana GRiD, featured at the extravagant #AutoCIRCUS festival, powered by AutoTrader.
#AutoCIRCUS will be taking place at Carnival City Casino and Entertainment World, and it certainly promises to be the most exciting automotive event of the year – and you can win tickets to attend! (Helpful hint: pay close attention to what you’re about to read, as you may have to answer a question or two later…)
Now celebrating its sixth year of tyre-slaying competition, the ever-popular Gymkhana GRiD is on African soil for the very first time, and will be a heady combination of all the thrilling aspects of drifting and stunt driving in one grand finale.
AutoTrader’s CEO, George Mienie states that “Gymkhana GRiD will be in South Africa for the first time ever! This is a great opportunity for us to showcase other motoring entertainment in support of Gymkhana GRiD. Events of this nature have a huge consumer appeal in global markets and we are very excited to have this event on our shores. As the trusted motoring marketplace it also allows us the opportunity to engage and interact with our customers face-to-face.”
Who will be taking part in the Gymkhana GRiD finals?
There’s international driving sensation and YouTube phenomenon, Ken Block, who boasts a string of drift and Rallycross championship wins, the latest of which includes the 2016 & 2017 FIA World Rallycross Championship. He’ll be driving his Ford Fiesta ST RX43. Did you know that Gymkhana GRiD is the brainchild of Ken Block?
“Gymkhana GRiD has been growing year on year, and to have it expand to an incredible country like South Africa is very exciting; I’m really looking forward to it,” said Block. “When I was last there for Clarkson, Hammond and May Live in 2016, my team and I had such a warm welcome. South Africans are very passionate about motorsport, and I enjoyed my time down there a lot. We have some big plans in place for the GRiD track this year – it’s going to bigger and better than ever before!”, he says.
Other contestants include Petter Solberg, also a repeat champion, two-time World Rallycross champion, motorsport’s first double-discipline FIA world champion, and 2016 Gymkhana GRiD AWD champion. Solberg is yet to announce the car he’ll be driving. Then, we’ll also be seeing the UK’s Luke Woodham, three-time Gymkhana GRiD champion, who will be driving his Nissan S14a 200sx.
What else can festival-goers expect at the #AutoCIRCUS festival?
Two days of adrenaline-filled action, a multitude of competitor drivers, a 40-strong exhibition which includes action features such as XDL stunt bikes, drift trike rides, skate and BMX rodeos, remote controlled buggy racing, as well as the coolest car displays, from hot rods to stance cars…and much more!
