Only the vibrating sound of revving engines could be heard at Zwartkops Raceway on the 9th of August 2014.

Vroom! Vroom! This is music to petrolheads, and they came in numbers excited for a day of racing, live music, beers, car talk and goggling at machines like Porsches, Jaguars and Ferrari’s.
We were entertained by drivers drifting on water, which looked really cool with the reflection of the cars as they swirled.
In the midst of super-car racers, go-kart racers and bikers, ShowMe met an eighteen year old enthusiastic Honda CBR 600 RR racer who began competing with a pocket bike as a kid. “It’s hard to describe that moment on a bike when I go through a corner at the right speed and at the right lean angle, it is exhilarating,” said Themba Khumalo.

Exhilarating, nothing but exciting energy at Zwartkops Extreme Festival. Wikus Dippenaar who also attended the event wrote on Facebook saying, “Thank you for an epic event, well organized and fast accurate results.
You will definitely see me again,” which just about sums up our Zwartkops experience.
Immortalized from passion, Zwartkops Raceway has been a popular racing venue in Pretoria since 1988 and continues to lead as Gauteng’s Motoring arena.
