Posted: 02 October 2013 |Story: RaceMasteR J | Photos: RaceMasteR J & Chevan Davids

 

Action, drama, glory! These are some of the things associated with top notch motorsport and we got to experience it all firsthand here. The images here were taken back in 2012 but were never published for some reason and with Super Series coming up this weekend I thought it would be a nice reminder of what to expect this coming Saturday. We were allowed “backstage” at Team ADF Motorsport/Afrox BMW and followed their developments during the Cape Town leg at Killarney Raceway. We got an insider’s view on what it takes to run with the big dogs in South Africa’s premier motorsport class, Bridgestone Production cars. [more]


HONDA 350+ RECORD HOOKUP
Event date : 22 September 2013 | Words: Nicholas Abrahams | Photos: Nish | Location: Fairbridge Mall, Brackenfell, Cape Town

 

Thanks to the sound restrictions at my second home I have not had to be up before 10am on a Sunday in ages. I think because of this I was drawn to the prospect of any sort of car enthusiasm type event and it seemed as if the Gods made the sun rise with Vtec engaged. Everything felt right in the world and to be honest I don’t believe anybody thought that the SA record attempt would have been unobtainable. [more]

DRAG RACING: THE GATEWAY DRUG OF MOTORSPORT
Posted: 27 September 2013 | Words & photos by: RaceMasteR J | Location: Killarney Race Track, Cape Town.

 

Drug you say? Well yes, I can without a doubt say that participating in any form of motorsport can be absolutely addictive. For many petrol heads its our form of drug. It makes you feel as if you want to do it all the time, and when you get your fix, it only leaves you yearning for more! Just like drugs, motorsport can be expensive too! So the easiest and cheapest way of getting a 400m fix nowadays is racing at Killarney’s Street 2 Strip events. It’s the gateway drug of motorsport. Guys get into it informally and for fun, and then suddenly end up getting more involved, spending more money on their cars, wanting to make them faster and lighter. [more]

FIRST TIME RACER AT STREET 2 STRIP
Posted: 20 September 2013 | Story and pics: RaceMasteR J

 

Here at Raceweb we always encourage people to take it to the track. Especially in today’s times of rampant stupidity levels and discreet Ghost Squad fleets prowling the streets. But to a lot of people that process never really happens for whatever reason. So when my buddy Nabeel decided to take me up on my preaching, I thought it was high time we did a story on the process of getting your ass off the streets and getting it on the track. [more]
