This weekend all roads lead to the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit for the annual Festival of Motoring.
As the largest industry-supported auto show in South Africa and on the continent, the Festival brings together various automotive-related industries, products and activities from 29 to 31 August.
Visitors can prepare for exhibitions of various products, equipment, new model launches, 4x4-rides, test drives of new models and thrilling rides around the racing circuit with professional drivers.
Although fewer European vehicle manufacturers will exhibit new vehicles at the event, Asian brands from China, Japan and India will dominate the new car scene with Volkswagen the only major European manufacturer showcasing its latest offerings.
Visitors have the opportunity to explore an impressive showcase featuring over 150 exhibitors flaunting everything from automotive products and services to lifestyle offerings and custom vehicles, catering to everyone’s needs and desires.
More than just an exhibition, the Festival of Motoring invites you to fully experience and immerse yourself in the world of cars. Visitors are invited to come and feel the thrill of driving cutting-edge models on the iconic Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit, the dynamic self-handling track, or conquer the dedicated 4×4 off-road course.
There’s also a hub of delectable food and live entertainment, making it an experience like no other, says the organisers.
Since its inception, the Festival has been fuelled by the vision to create a vibrant automotive community where industry titans, passionate motoring enthusiasts, and those searching for their dream rides come together for three days of action-packed thrills and family fun.
It has been reported that the Scandinavian commercial vehicle manufacturer, Volvo Trucks, will significantly scale up local production capabilities with the launch of Euro 6 truck manufacturing in early 2026. The expansion represents a major investment in the company's Durban assembly operations.
