IT'S GERMANY vs JAPAN 2 AT KILLARNEY ROBOT RACING!

Robot Racing is the purest form of motorsport there is: Two cars line up at a red robot, the robot goes green and whoever reaches the finishing line first, 402 metres (a quarter of a mile) away, is the winner. Running at night adds extra excitement and drama – it’s the closest you can get to street racing without breaking the law!
Robot Racing started way back in 2016 as a joint effort between the Western Province Motor Club at Killarney and the City of Cape Town, to get street racers off the public roads and into a safe and controlled environment where they can enjoy their cars without endangering other road users and the public at large.
With up to 260 participants and thousands of spectators cheering them on, the atmosphere is electric, the air is filled with the sound of highly-tuned engines and thick with tyre smoke – you can almost smell the adrenalin!
The next Robot Racing event at Killarney is on Wednesday 12 November from 6:30pm to 10:00pm.
Spectator tickets online from Webtickets at https://www.webtickets.co.za/v2/Client.aspx?clientcode=killarneyevents are R70 for adults; children under 12 get in free. Tickets are also available at the gate (cash or card!) at R100 for adults and free for children under 12.
There’s no extra charge to race!
If you want to participate, just remember to bring a roadworthy car, a crash helmet, a long-sleeved top and long trousers, and your current South African driving licence.
Documentation for participating is open at Gate 1 from 5:30pm to 7:30pm on the day and scrutineering for the compulsory safety checks closes at 8:00pm.
Tasty take-aways (including halaal) and ice-cold drinks are available in the spectator area, so bring the family and make an evening of it – see you there!
