The Killarney circuit might only be about 53 years old, but its racing heritage dates back to 1928 - long before any of the development took place around it. When the track was built many years ago, it was about the only thing that side of the Cape and far away from any residential areas.
Over the years, housing projects and developments have grown closer and closer around it yet fingers are pointed at an institution that has been there for decades. It's the only race track in Cape Town to accompany various motorsport racing, with Friday night events such as Street2Strip being implemented in a bid to get illegal racing off the streets.
Should Killarney see the end of its days or should the residents think twice about complaining since they chose to live in an area around a noisy race track?
