It is fast at the start, then it has some spectacular curves. It is a beautiful piece of road to drive. And it is at the foot of Table Mountain,&#8221; explains Mackintosh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-effect=\"slide\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:calc(1024 \/ 768)\"><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_container swiper\"><ul class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_swiper-wrapper swiper-wrapper\"><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" alt=\"speed cars\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-270450\" data-id=\"270450\" data-aspect-ratio=\"1024 \/ 768\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/JkbCars-3-1024x768.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/JkbCars-3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/JkbCars-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/JkbCars-3-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_caption gallery-caption\">From sleek supercars to vintage icons, Speed Classic brings together 150 remarkable machines.

We got entries from across the world, from Switzerland, Poland, Sweden. People can expect to see cars like the Ferrari 308 and cars from the 1930s,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kuun says on the first day of the event patrons can get up close and personal with the jewels of the motoring world. The spotlight will shift to speed on Sunday in the King of the Mountain showdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis says the City is geared up to host this &#8220;world-class event&#8221;.<br>\u201cThis event has the potential to grow into a real mainstay event for the city and one that will bring visitors from around the world and showcase our city globally.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steyn Momberg, project director, adds that spectators can look forward to seeing modern supercars and high-performance racing machines compete across 2,1km of twisting tarmac and a 150-metre vertical climb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He says the event has been approved by Motor Sport South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe racecourse is built by a Formula 1 approved concrete barriers, our marshalling team is from Western Province Racing, so we believe that we have a safe event. On Phillip Kgosana the outbound road will be the racing track, and people will be able to stand right on top and watch the cars race.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\"
