The national championship Extreme Festival hits Killarney for the second and final time this year, where South Africa’s top drivers will battle it out in closely matched cars. The most notable vehicles on the Extreme Festival programme include the G&H Transport Extreme Supercars.
Exotic machines such as Lamborghinis, Porsches and Audi R8s will compete against the best of the east, including Nissan GTRs and some highly modified street cars.
The day will start with warm-ups and qualifying rounds for the Investchem F1600 and the Gazoo Racing SA Cup, which combine two different types of cars. Six GT86 sports coupes will race against six Yaris GR ‘hot hatches’.
The CompCare Polo Cup racing will feature mostly young, ambitious and aggressive drivers, and the cars are all identical.
The Investchem Formula 1600s and Formula Ford Kent single-seaters feature exposed wheels, which means that the slightest touch could be disastrous – precision driving is a pre-requisite.
During the lunch break, fans will be able to meet South Africa’s top drivers on the fan walks. The GTC and Supa Cup cars and drivers will be lined up on the Porsche Straight between Interceptor Corner and Sarel’s Sweep.
