This ‘one-of-a-kind motoring festival’ featured some of the country’s top drifters, from brothers Gavin and Brendan Puren, Joey Govender, Paulo Gouveia, Chris Lansberg to Shane Ferreira displaying their talents and the rubber-burning action from very early in the morning.

Visitors watched the drifters tear up the tar with a high-speed tandem drift show by stepping into the cockpit for ‘suicide rides’ on the drift track.

While the track boiled, crowd favourite from last year’s event, emcee and Ignition presenter on DStv, Vic Pardell, popularly known as Africa’s loudest white boy, made a return to the resort to ensure that he kept the crowds entertained throughout the day.

Visitors enjoyed the spectacle of drift cars burning up the tar.
