Cooler Weather = Hotter Racing At Killarney’s Power Series!

Published on

 

Round 4 of Killarney’s Power Series presented by Lime Property Management in association with Smile 90.4 FM on Saturday 25 May is set to deliver a full day of hot racing no matter what the weather.

 

It’s no secret that engines run better in cooler weather, but that racing tyres lose some of their grip on a cold track – it’s all about getting the power down on the road, and that makes for ultra-close, unpredictable racing, risky passing moves and big slides when they get it wrong!

 

Our new format continues for this event with shorter times between your favourite categories racing in Heats 1 and 2. This means less waiting around between races for the competitors and a more exciting motorsport experience for the fans!

 

At the same time, Spin Outlaws will be shredding rubber on the Castrol Spinning Pitch; experience this vibrant expression of street-car culture at no extra charge.

 

Save time and money by pre-purchasing your tickets online from Ticketmaster at R90 for adults and R10 for under-16s; there’s no charge for under-12s – just pick up their free tickets at the gate. Plus you get speedy access to Killarney with scanners in operation to verify your booking on your phone – there’s no need to print your tickets out or pick them up.

 

Tickets at the gate (cash or card!) are R120 for adults and R20 for scholars under 16; children under 12 are free. And, as always, WPMC members get in free on production of your membership book at the gate.

 

With 20 races in seven car and three motorcycle categories, it’s action all the way from 8:00am till sunset – even during the lunch break when we invite you down on to the circuit to meet the drivers and get a close look at the cars.

 

The programme features races for Modified Saloon Cars, Classic Cars, Formula Libre racing cars and Sports & GT cars, as well as Superbikes and Classic Superbikes as well as STC 650 and SSP 300 motorcycles.

 

For the spectators it’s all about THRILLS AND FAMILY FUN for petrolheads of all ages; there are outlets around the facility serving hot snacks and cold beverages – as well as children’s play areas, including the famous Kiddies’ Korner, the coolest party zone on the West Coast, which is available for hire year-round. On Race Day your kids get to enjoy it absolutely free!

 

Spectators are welcome to move around throughout the day by using the free shuttle service to watch the action from different vantage points. The pits are always open to spectators, so you can also see the cars and motorcycles up close.

 

There’s ample parking all around the circuit, so bring your beach umbrella or gazebo and your cooler box, light up your skottelbraai, park next to one of our brick braais, or just pick a seat on one of our shaded grandstands and make the day your own.
