The meeting
On 17 December 1960, Killarney held the Cape Grand Prix.
On 6 February 2027, it runs again.
For a few summers in the early sixties, the works Grand Prix teams came south. They raced the Rand, Natal and East London, and they raced Killarney, on a circuit laid out on the flats north of the city with the mountain behind it.
Then the season moved on and never came back. The circuit is still there, and still races.
AG Capital is bringing the meeting back. Not a parade and not a static display: the Historic Grand Prix Cars Association brings a full field of pre-1966 Grand Prix cars, the Classic TT names bring the two-strokes, and everything on the entry is raced.
Two days of racing, one circuit, and one car on the grid that was here the first time.
The schedule
Two days of racing. Gates open at 09h00.
Saturday’s fastest in-lap sets the grid for Sunday. The Formula 1 Grand Prix is the main event on both days, and closes Sunday’s programme at 16h00.

Jim Clark’s Lotus returns to Killarney
Jim Clark raced this car at Killarney. Sixty-five years on, it comes back.

Clark won two world championships and twenty-five Grands Prix, and took the Indianapolis 500 in 1965. Many who watched him still name him the finest driver who ever sat in a car. On 2 January 1962 he drove this Lotus 21 at Killarney and finished second. On 6 February 2027 the same chassis takes the same grid.
The cars
Twenty-two Grand Prix cars, ten classes, one grid.
The Historic Grand Prix Cars Association brings the field. It spans the 1952 two-litre cars through to the pre-1966 Tasman machines, which means a 4.1-litre Indianapolis roadster on the same circuit as a 1.5-litre Lotus. A handful worth knowing:
Class 7b · 1960Cooper T53
Rudi Friedrichs · chassis F2/8/60The car that ended the front-engine era. Jack Brabham won the 1960 championship in a T53, and every constructor followed the engine behind the driver. Four are entered.
Class 6 · 1955Maserati 250F
Glenn Loxton · chassis CM8The definitive front-engined Grand Prix car, and the one Fangio took to the 1957 title. Only 26 were built.
Class 6 · 1955Connaught B Type
Charlie Martin · chassis B9The marque that gave Britain its first Grand Prix win of the modern era, when Tony Brooks beat the works Maseratis at Syracuse in 1955.
Class 8 · 1957Kurtis KK 500 G
Frederic Harper · chassis 500 G2-14An Indianapolis roadster, 4.1 litres and built to turn left. Kurtis Kraft cars won the Indy 500 five times in the decade.
Class 10a · 1960Lotus 18
Wolfgang Henseler · chassis 375Chapman’s first mid-engined Grand Prix car, and the giant-killer Stirling Moss drove to victory at Monaco in 1960 for a privateer team.
Class 12 · 1962Brabham BT3/4
Tim Child · chassis F1-2-62The first Grand Prix car Jack Brabham built under his own name, beginning the only story in which a driver wins a world championship in a car bearing it.

The motorcycles
Descendants of legends. Modern heroes.

The Classic TT put today’s riders on the bikes that made the Mountain Course. The names that wrote it, and the ones still writing it, taken as a race, not a parade. That is the meeting at Killarney.

Why we are behind it
The discipline of money is the discipline of the racing line. Preparation. Risk you meant to take.
Many of our peers sponsor the arts, or team sports. We identify most with racing.
The engineering and preparation of the car, and the precision and performance of the driver, bear a close relation to what it takes to consistently outperform in markets.
We are deeply passionate about our home, Cape Town, and its rich Motorsport history. We are proud to be associated with its revival.
