Top Gear Festival not coming to Durban
The news is not what motoring fans wanted to hear.
IT has been announced today that Top Gear Festival will not take place in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal this year.
The organisers have confirmed they are actively looking for an alternative destination for a Top Gear Live event and hope to have more news very soon.
Over the years the Top Gear Live events have enjoyed a great relationship with their South African fans and in their statement they thanked the fans for their understanding following this announcement.
“Durban is one of seven destinations selected to be included in the international tour for 2015,” said James Cooke-Priest, COO of Top Gear Live.
“South Africa has always been one of our favourite destinations on the tour. We have a particular fondness for the crowds we entertain here as they are always so loud and enthusiastic and return year after year to support us,” he said.
“Although we will not be in Durban this year we are taking steps to stage an alternative Top Gear Live event in Johannesburg and we shall be announcing those plans shortly,” he added.
Any fans who had already bought vouchers to attend this year’s event have already been contacted regarding their orders and offered alternatives.
Updates regarding the alternative Top Gear Live event will be made in the press in coming weeks.
