On 29 October 2016, the BMW Car Club Gauteng will continue a 26 year tradition with their annual Kyalami Track and Race Day. Headline sponsors Bridgestone, Castrol and Auto Bavaria Midrand have dug deep to help the Club and its members experience the refurbished international circuit first-hand.
The day will be comprised of the BMW Car Club Time Trial Series, the Porsche Club Central Time Trial Series and the ever popular Bridgestone BMW Club Racing Series. The event is now open to holders of an MSA circuit licence, but you will need to become a member of the club first. Membership starts at just R350 and will be held valid until the end of 2017.
Entry fees for the Time Trial sessions are just R1800, but be quick as only valid membership and payment confirms your place in the limited entry list. Both membership application and event entry can be done online at BMW Car Club Gauteng.
BMW Car Club Gauteng Concours d’Elegance on 4 September @ Nelson Mandela Square
This year the BMW Car Club Gauteng celebrates the 35th anniversary of the Concours d’Elegance, the most prestigious event on the Club calendar. The year 2016 also marks the centenary of the BMW marque, with celebrations happening all year round, globally. The Concours forms a key part of the Club’s commemoration of the 100th year anniversary of the Bavarian Motors Works. It is a celebration of the classics focusing on the heritage of the BMW brand. With limited space, entries will primarily be done by invitation, making this year’s event rather more exclusive.
For 2016 the Concours d’Elegance returns to the iconic Nelson Mandela Square in Sandton, on the 4th September. Sandton Auto who has been a long time sponsor of the event returns this year as the main sponsor, under the Melrose Arch Auto banner. The emphasis this year will be on the modern classic BMWs, the icons of the last five decades that have made the BMW brand into the universal success it is today.
