The Simola Hillclimb will run over four days – from Thursday to Sunday and will include the following elements:
Classic Car Friday
Catering exclusively for historic, classic and vintage cars, kicks off on Thursday at the Fan Fest where cars will be scrutineered and on public display until it closed with the very popular and entertaining parade in Waterfront Drive.
The glorious cars from pre-war to 1985 will grace the hill on Friday while drivers, friends and spectators are encouraged to attend in period dress.
As with the King of the Hill entries, the event is an invitational and we are always oversubscribed for Classic Car Friday. The same entry procedure is followed with drivers invited to express an interest in entering the event. All applicants are evaluated by a committee to determine whether car driver and/or machinery meet the set criteria.
Classic Car Friday offers a unique atmosphere and a collection of cars that is not to be missed.
Track action is from 07h45-15h20 with the field limited to 75 cars.
The King of the Hill Shootout
While the Classic Car Friday competitors are in action on the hill, the King of the Hill cars will be scrutineered and on display at the Fan Fest on Friday. The parade for these tyre smoking, roaring cars closes proceedings in front of thousands of spectators lining the road.
Saturday and Sunday’s action is dubbed the King of the Hill Shootout and is where the country’s fastest machinery will duel it out on the Simola hill. With entries in the Shootout limited to 84 cars, demand for places in the event is oversubscribed with all spots allocated well before the closing date for entries.
The event is an invitation event for competitors. Drivers are invited to express an interest in entering the event. All applicants are evaluated by a committee to determine whether car driver and/or machinery meet the set criteria.
Preference will be given to competitors and cars with a strong motorsport history and/or heritage and/or spectator value. These do not have to be the most expensive cars, just the most interesting. This is to ensure that fans will witness some of the country’s meanest, sleekest, prettiest and most spectacular cars taking to the track during the weekend.
The identified list of potential entries will then be invited to enter the Simola Hillclimb.
Track action is from 09h00-16h30 on Saturday and 09h00-15h30 on Sunday.
