Killarney Motor Racing Complex

Description

The Killarney Motor Racing Complex, situated in Table View, Cape Town, is a racing circuit and home to the Western Province Motor Club. Regional Main Circuit Racing days offer an action-packed line-up of racing with all sorts of cars and motorcycles on the track. The National Super Series comes to Killarney twice a year and the Pro Tour has also become a favourite in the Cape Motorsport Calendar, attracting spectators in their thousands.

The public can experience the circuit without owning their own racing vehicle at motorcycle and car track days that occur roughly once a month. Members of the public can also hire single seater karts through Fantastic Racing to race on the formula-K circuit; an activity that has proved popular with corporate events and team building.
