US member visiting Durban SA
 

Hows it going everyone I will be visiting South Africa for the first time and will be staying in Durban wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions for some car related activities or just any tourist info.:cheers:

forgot to mention I'm visiting for three weeks in January. would love to hit a track

Cool... have fun!

Our bigger tracks are in other cities, but I know Durban has a small one called Dube. Locals will help you out.

If you wanna see how idiotic the locals can be, take a drive to quarry road, by the Makro on a Thursday/Friday night around 11pm. Street racers acting like total idiots

Tracks, check Dezzy as suggested. The others are mostly airstrips that are hired periodically to run drags etc.

There's a 'supercar' driving experience at Dezzi Raceway during 14,15, 21,22 of January 2017.

It will cost you approx $200-300 to drive a supercar or two around the track for a few laps:

You should watch Season 1 Episode 2 of The Grand Tour,
And try to go for a 'spinning' event if you are brave :D

The local motorsport culture in KZN(Durban) is slightly limited to illegal and legal drag racing (1/4mile racing).

There are one or two track / circuit events, which you will have to try to find out when they are.

Sies, that's just nasty. :lol:

Sweet!
