Top Gear Festival Durban Promises New Street Spectacular
Following two hugely successful years, the award-winning Top Gear Festival is bolstering its team to ensure it delivers one hell of an event to complete its Durban, Kwa-Zulu Natal trilogy.
In a bid to create the best street circuit yet, popular and respected motoring media personality, Marius Roberts has joined the Top Gear Festival Durban team bringing with him the promise of more motortainment than ever before.
Marius said of his appointment; “I am a huge fan of Top Gear, a huge fan of cars and a huge fan of Durban, so when I got the call regarding the position of Content Manager for the Top Gear Festival 2014 in Durbs, I didn’t have to give it much thought. I plan to combine these passions to put together the best Festival Content to date. I’m not saying it’s going to be easy, after all, the Festival has been incredibly successful over the past two years, but I am up for the challenge.”
The new layout has additional benefits including bringing the street circuit action even closer to the spectators. With the circuit looping back on itself along Battery Road, the new grandstand positions create a stadium feel around the Street Circuit, allowing Top Gear fans to get even more bang for their buck. From the moment the sun rises on the 21st & 22nd of June to the time the sun sets, there will be non-stop action right in front of them!
On track there is plenty for spectators to get excited about with more competitive racing action. The newest and most exciting action takes the form of an ALL NEW Time Attack Invitational, where 30 of South Africa’s bravest drivers take each other on in 30 of South Africa’s fastest cars. This high-octane entertainment is bound to have fans on the edge of their seats this June. In addition The Stig will be unleashed in a variety of cars as he completes power laps synonymous with the Top Gear television shows – always a favourite with the crowds. Also, new for this year, the street circuit introduces an incredible parade of Porsches and Ferraris – thanks to local clubs here in KwaZulu-Natal, and lucky competition winners will be able to experience hot laps around the infamous Durban Street Circuit. Expect a nail-biting, jaw dropping spectacle as the Porsche and Ferrari drivers provide prize winners with their own personal dose of rip-roaring action in true Top Gear style.
Festival-goers can expect a day packed full of entertainment both on and off the track as this year’s Top Gear Festival Durban in ‘the warmest place to be’ offers a true celebration of all things motoring. Visitors are encouraged to book early to avoid missing out on the most exciting event on this year’s entertainment and motoring calendar.
Visitors with Grandstand tickets are required to attend their respective Street Circuit Shows at either 9h30 or 13h30 on Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd June, and organisers encourage arriving early so as not to miss out. Grandstand seats are included in the SuperSport Elite and Superior Ticket Packages and are available for sale now for those with Standard and Basic tickets at R200 per person. More Details Here.
