The full-throated roar of high-powered V8 racing engines will combine with a King and Queen of Sound competition and the high-watts output of a bevy of top DJs to rock the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit when the Gauteng Motorsport Company presents the final round of the international Superstars Series on December 12 and 13.
The Superstars race weekend programme will include a free practice on Saturday from 11.00 to 11.30 and qualifying from 15.00 to 15.30.
Sunday’s programme features the first of the two 25-minute plus one lap international Superstars races blasting off the Kyalami grid at 11.30. The second Superstars race starts at 15.00. An entry of 16 cars has been confirmed with at least two being made available to South African drivers who are able to raise the necessary sponsorship. There will be a full programme of support races on both days featuring several of South Africa’s national circuit racing categories.
The DJs will be spinning the vinyl on stage at the Skid Pan from midday on Sunday, starting with Oskido and Zinhle from Yfm, followed by Milkshake, Yfm’s DJ Sbu, the announcement of the winners of the King and Queen of Sound at 15.30, DJ Fresh of 5fm, Sergio Marques (aka DJ Surge) and Arno Carstens and, completing the day’s entertainment, Erica Elle from 5fm at 18.30.
