It’s the final countdown to a motoring spectacle
Motorsport enthusiasts can brace for a thrilling weekend of revving, roaring and skidding action at Carnival City over the weekend of November 18 and 19.
That is when the #AutoCIRCUS and the outrageously popular Gymkhana GRiD 2017 will be hitting Ekurhuleni.
This will be the first time ever that Gymkhana GRiD has ventured to South African shores.
In addition to an exhibition of motor-related products, the #AutoCIRCUS features interactive experiences such as ‘drift thrill rides’ in purpose-built drift vehicles.
XDL bike stunts will be showcasing their two-wheel antics and keep fans on edge with extreme exploits and all-out risk bike trickery.
Other activities include drift trikes and remote control drift cars.
Some of the world’s most daring daredevils will be at the wheel during the finals of the Gymkhana GRiD, including Ken Block, Luke Woodham and Riku Tahko.
Gymkhana GRiD has a racing format like no other that mixes donuts with clipping points and powerslides with apexes – it’s the tyre smoke filled vision of racing genius, Block.
Gymkhana GRiD’s unique competition setup allows small power to take down big brake horsepower (BHP) in all-out automotive combat.
Split into two classes, Gymkhana GRiD gives drivers of All Wheel Drive (AWD) and Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) cars the chance to go head-to-head and against the clock on a custom-designed course.
What’s more, it’s set to be an epic doubleheader of season showdowns, with the finale of the 2017 FIA World Rallycross Championship presented by Monster Energy taking place in Cape Town just seven days before Gymkhana GRiD’s finale at Carnival City.
