2025 Simola Hillclimb Classic Car Friday took place this last Friday in the town of Knysna. The self-contained Friday event features a number of classic road and racecars. Unfortunately, the weather in seaside town showed no respect for these valuable machines, intermittently soaking the 1,9-km course.
