The second round of the Extreme Festival takes place at Zwartkops on 21 March 2015.
The Bridgestone BMW Club Racing Series will be making a return appearance at the Festival after a highly successful event as an invitational category in 2014.
The popular club series will appear on the Extreme Festival calendar 3 times this year at Zwartkops, Phakisa and Kyalami.
Many of the teams and drivers from the BMW Car Club also compete in the Speed and Sound 111 Sports and Saloons and G&H Transport Extreme Supercars categories. It means that all the usual suspects as well as some new ones will be together in one place. It’s a dream come true for any BMW Motorsport fan as the racing is likely to be riveting in all 3 categories.
BMW set to dominate the Extreme Festival
Racing Series Chairman Michael Broom says “we discovered such a great synergy with the Extreme Festival last year which resulted in an event where BMW dominated the day. I expect that this event will be much the same with some big names and very quick cars on the billing”.
Racing starts at 09:15 on Saturday morning with drifting demos in between all the action. A beer garden, kiddies entertainment and various stalls will also keep fans busy in between race heats.
Tickets are R90 per adult, R70 per student while kids under 12 get in free.
The Club was formed in 1981 to afford likeminded enthusiasts the opportunity to interact with each other through a comprehensive calendar of events, a club magazine and website portal. The Club also organizes adrenaline and social based events such as breakfast runs, classic car gatherings, Concours d’Elegance competitions, noggins, weekend trips, gymkhana’s and top speed events. The Club is proud of its family ethos where all enthusiasts are welcome. Annual membership starts from as little as R350, more information is available at www.bmwcarclub.co.za.
