The Supertech Torque Motoring Festival 2025 is revving up for the first time at Port Shepstone’s Dezzi Raceway in KwaZulu-Natal on 19 and 20 April.
An unforgettable celebration of speed, style and performance, the festival will bring the world of high-performance cars to Dezzi Raceway in a spectacular fashion as promised by the organisers of the event, Supertech Torque—the official car club of the Supertech Group.
The event’s signature attractions include heart-pounding circuit racing, a legendary model showcase featuring BMW M cars like the iconic M3 and all-new M5, adrenaline-pumping stunt exhibitions, and a spinning extravaganza with international and local stars like Didi Bizarro, Stacy May, Luke Williamson, Cameron Williamson, Kayla Oliphant and Preshu Singh.
For those seeking hands-on thrills, there’ll be first-hand drift rides, hot laps with the BMW Driving Experience team, and helicopter flips for an added rush (an additional fee applies for certain activities).
For even more fun, racing simulators, exclusive auctions, mainstage entertainment, an exclusive hospitality lounge, and the stylish Torque Fashion Show will be attractions.
