BMW CCG ///M Performance Parts Race Series Round 1 at the 23rd Passion for Speed at Zwartkops Raceway

This is the fourth consecutive occasion that the BMW ///M Performance Parts Race Series will feature on the roster of the invitational event, the du facto South African circuit racing season opener.While the final entry classifications will only be completed once the weekend’s official timed sessions commence, a host of frontrunners in the five classes are eager to continue their battles that provided some of the most competitive racing in 2024.

It has become common practice around shorter circuits like Zwartkops Raceway for the field to be split into two racing groups, with the season opener seeing this being continued. This will start with Friday afternoon’s qualifying session. Classes A & C will start Saturday’s programme with their first race. Classes A, D & E’s race programme will commence later in the day.

Spectator tickets for both Friday and Saturday can be purchased in advance at here at Computicket-boxoffice. Saturday’s full race programme will be streamed live via the BMW Car Club Gauteng Facebook page and 2WheelsTV YouTube Channels.

IndyKart Indoor Go Karting situated in Eastgate Mall is the biggest indoor go-karting track South Africa has to offer with a whopping 475m with 12 brand new Sodi RT8 Go Karts.

With many different technical corners and tricks this track is perfect for any professional driver and is forgiving enough for first time drivers.

Driver Requirements:

• Driver’s licence (responsible teenagers 15 years old and up may be allowed)
• Minimum height = 1.4m tall
• Long sleeved shirt, long pants, closed shoes
• Crash helmets are provided, but you may bring your own if you prefer.

Dear Time Trial Enthusiasts – welcome to the first round of the Northern Regions Time Trial Championship being held at Zwartkops Raceway.

The Championship is organised as a sub-committee of the BMW Car Club of Gauteng, but will include members from other car clubs as well. All types of cars will be allowed, road and race cars. Road cars will be allowed to have freedom to have certain performance enhancing modifications, more than one would think to be allowed, so that the drivers can really dedicate themselves to spend time and effort to get their cars to a proper track-use spec, and to be rewarded for their effort, with cars that will set quick lap times.

We plan to host at least 3 events this year, of which will include Zwartkops Raceway and Redstar Raceway. All competitors will also be entered into an overall Time-Trial Series points competition. All car-clubs are invited, the more clubs enter, the more exciting the inter-club competition will become.

It promises to be fun filled, clean and exciting times on the race-tracks.

Entry Fee – R1250 – available under the Ticket Section at the end of this notice

The BMW Car Club Gauteng will be hosting an event at the exemplary BMW xDrive Park. Entries are limited and a maximum of 40 participants can be accomodated. The day will be split into the two events – 20 participants in their own vehicles will complete the waterless skidpan for six runs (3 mirrored) with the best 5 times to count. The other 20 participants will be accompanied by a BMW Driving Experience instructor to drive BMW’s new BMW X3s on the xDrive track to showcase the vehicle’s offroad capabilities. Half way through the event, the participants will swop so that everyone gets to compete in both the skidpan and the xDrive experience. Entry fee is R350 per person for members and R550 for non-members.  Booking and payment secures your spot.  (The club member discount code will be sent in the club emailer invite – check your spam folder – add tickets to cart and click checkout and add the discount code there),
