The South Africa Historic Grand Prix Festival will take place in just a matter of days. On November 25 some extremely valuable old racecars will take to the track on South African soil as they race in East London. Most of the field comprises of exact cars that raced in the South African Grand Prix between 1934 and 1939.

A packed field

Over 20 Grand Prix cars have been confirmed for the historic reunion. Many of the cars took part in the Goodwood Revival in the UK. Click here to watch some incredibly close saves at the UK event.

Much of the original Prince George racetrack in East London still exists. The cars will retrace the historic 17 km circuit in a parade taking place between two short sprint races on the current track. The road-going cars will then drive down to the Western Cape between the 26th and 30th November.

A party in the garden

A two-day Grand Prix Garden Party will take place at Val de Vie Estate, located between Franschhoek and Paarl. The public will have an opportunity to interact with these historic cars on the pristine polo fields of the estate.

Several car manufacturers and local classic car clubs will present over 120 of their most interesting cars on the 1st and 2nd of December. The Grand Prix cars will be paraded on a short road circuit within the estate.

Also confirmed for the event are a number of Rileys, Bugattis, the Alfa Romeo Tipo B P3 from the 1936 race, a local Aston Martin Ulster, and another Ulster which is a very famous car and a brace of ex-SA Grand Prix MGs.
