On Sunday 27th January Killarney will be hosting its first Streetcar Track Day of the year, this one being dubbed a German Festival where all drivers of a German vehicle will gain free entry into the facility on that day, special parking will also be allocated for those wanting to put their vehicles on display. The normal Streetcar Track Day will take place from the old pits from 10am while the new pit lane action will start later in the day. At 2.30pm there will be a mass parade for all thing German, we have managed almost 250 vehicles at a recent parade, will this event exceed than number. Track sessions for German as well as non German cars will continue till 5pm, please note that no track time will be allocated for motorcycles as this is mostly a car event – bikers please visit www.wpmc.co.za to get the latest Killarney calendar and see what the motorcycle track sessions are. Admission to get in for non German vehicle drivers will be R20 per person, food stalls and a jumping castle will also be available so bring the family.

How does your insurance work for track days?
Do you pay for extra cover on the specific day or is there no way of getting any cover at all?

Shiraz, will there be timed drags at any of these events?

I am sure someone here would be able to answer this properly, but I think they make full advantage of the risk factor so budget for a large extra premium, and lots of fine print and limitations. This is why the whole concept of getting an old not so clean car and turning it into a track toy exists of course. Also, personally I think our non ///M cars (as in normal brakes and so on) is not really best suited for a track, and Killarney is known to be heavy on brakes!

But, hopefully members with more experience will be able to explain more!

Procession from McD N1? Maybe via Contermanskloof like a previous time?

Maybe good idea as roads are a mess. Dunoon seems to be quickest
