Cape Town-<\/strong> Organisers of the inaugural Speed Classic Cape Town say preparations are on track for next week\u2019s event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For two days Philip Kgosana Drive will transform into a high-octane racetrack as modern supercars <\/a>and vintage icons go head-to-head on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speed Classic brings together 150 cars worth over R600 million for a weekend of motoring excitement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patrons can look forward to motoring heritage on Saturday when 70 Classic Cars, including some of the rarest vehicles on earth, take to the tarmac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Sunday the attention shifts to spectacular supercars and speed machines that will battle it out in the King of the Mountain showdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to event co-founder Garth Mackintosh the Speed Classic event is the result of five years of planning and preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He believes Philip Kgosana Drive is the ideal location as it allows for a return route to bring the cars back after each run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steyn Momberg, project director, said the construction of the temporary tarmac and placement of safety barriers will take place from Sunday 19 October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are very much on track and will be using FIA-approved road barriers and catch fencing that were constructed for the recently-held Formula E in Cape Town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said the racecourse will be signed off by Motorsport South Africa Clerk of the Course on Thursday 23 October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Momberg contingency plans for weather-related disruptions were in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have our world class emergency and deviation plans in place that could accommodate delays in case of extreme weather. We will not extend the event into additional days in case of cancellation, but so far, no extreme conditions are in the forecasts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that a traffic deviation plan will be made available to residents and road users in the coming days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis will also be for the broader Cape Town Community who access Philip Kgosana daily. It is also important to note that we are not closing access to any residents or businesses and alternative routes to avoid Philip Kgosana will be published shortly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Momberg said their marshalling team will complete safety drills on the course soon to ensure everything runs smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He emphasised that safety is their key priority and said an emergency service plan is in place this include police, saw enforcement and traffic services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOn the medical side we have Western Cape Medical managing the race and competition. Our private medical services will provide an additional 4 ambulances and vehicles with EMT staff throughout the event.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
