Topping the venue’s Historic Tour event will be two races for the Trans-Africa Legends of the 9-Hour cars. The category has 13 V8 racers and more than a dozen small-engined vehicles.
CLASSICS HEADED FOR ZWARTKOPS

Any of them could make the podium, as could Fred Phillips’ Ford Galaxie, Thomas Falkiner’s Ford Mustang, Ferdi van Niekerk senior's Galaxie and Ferdi junior's Ford Mustang, MJ Meiring’s Ford Fairlane or Neil Reyneke’s Studebaker Lark.

Also competing in the 2.0-litre category is Paul Pereira’s Anglia and cricketing legend Clive Rice in an Alfa Junior.
Rivaling the tin-top brigade for spectacle will be the Sports and GT Pre-1968 Le Mans racers. Spectators should look out for Mark du Toit’s Lola T70 Spyder, Craig Cummings’ Lola, Ross Lazarus’ Ford GT40 models.
Dino and Franco Scribante as well as Peter Lindenberg will compete in a Shelby Coupe.
