The tournament will travel to major Hyprop Malls nationwide, bringing a premium motorsport-inspired gaming experience to thousands of South African gaming enthusiasts. Two state-of-the-art sim rigs will be installed at each location, where visitors of all skill levels can strap in for free-to-play or the daily time lap challenges. The MTN Shift Gaming Experience will offer participants the opportunity to drive the exciting Toyota Gazoo Racing sports cars in a virtual setting.

While open to all ages, prizes will be awarded exclusively to participants aged 18 and older. Each day’s fastest lap will win a R1 000 shopping voucher to use at the mall where they competed. Winners of the grand prize, an all-expenses paid Toyota Gazoo Racing Driving Academy (TGRDA) experience for two, will be announced at the end of the MTN Shift Gaming Experience in September.
