Rebels, Drifting and World Record Attempt at the Cape Town Motor show 2019

It’s not your average motor show when it has 4x4s, a sound off, drift shows, old school rock n roll and a classic car as a prize.

Calling all petrol heads, bike buffs and sound off junkies; the Cape Town Motor Show is back at Grandwest Casino and Entertainment World and is ready to make all your motoring dreams come true on 2 and 3 March 2019.

NOT YOUR AVERAGE MOTOR SHOW

The Cape Town Motor Show is about more than vehicle displays. The show organisers are making full use of the length and breadth of Grand West to create an immersive auto event experience. Expect everything from the usual displays to a sound off competition, virtual simulations, car wrapping, drifting, a large 4X4 outside area and live music.

IT COULD GET LOUD

Car audio enthusiasts are in for a treat as the best car sound systems in Cape Town battle it out at the motor show. The sound off will be run In conjunction with IASCA (International Auto Sound Challenge Association), who set the standard for how sound offs are measured. This also makes it an internationally recognised competition, although the rules are still simple: the louder you are, the better your chances of winning. You may even break a sound off record, which is what the organiser are shooting for.

CATCHING THE DRIFT

Drifting was a big drawcard at the 2018 Cape Town Motor Show, and this year it’s going to be even better.
