Time Attack returns to Killarney
September welcomes back one of Cape Town's most exciting motorsport occasions at Killarney Raceway, with the Time Attack powered by MD Motorsport a division of MasterDrive set to take place on Friday 25 and Saturday 26 September.
Cape Town's exclusive official Time Attack promises heart-stopping action for anyone who appreciates speed, precision, and the exhilarating spectacle of drivers chasing every fraction of a second.
Time Attack is the first event of its kind on the African continent to be affiliated with Global Time Attack. Rather than following traditional wheel-to-wheel racing, drivers tackle the 2.2 km course solo. The coastal GM of MasterDrive, Gino Nourse, says:
“The 20 to 30-second interval launches mean every competitor has a clear run and every spectator an unobstructed view of pure speed and driving skill, as each entrant chases the fastest possible time."
“The variety of vehicles on display is another highlight for spectators to anticipate. Including an impressive spread of machinery, from street cars and classic cars to modified race cars, single seaters, sports prototypes, and GT cars. This provides something for every kind of motoring enthusiast, whether one’s interest lies in classic engineering, cutting-edge performance builds, or full-blown race vehicles,”
says Nourse.
The action unfolds along a route that showcases the character of Killarney itself. Vehicles run anticlockwise, starting midway down the back straight through Sarel’s Sweep, to Tygerberg straight, into Damps Dip, through the Killarney Kink, into Castrol corner, up the Joubert straight, into Hoals Hoek and onto Porsche straight before finishing. Spectators have a front-row seat to some of the circuit's most dynamic sections.
Events such as the Time Attack hold value for the driving community in Cape Town, according to Eugene Herbert, CEO of MasterDrive.
“Participation gives drivers an opportunity to test their skills and their vehicles in a professionally managed environment where the pressure of daily traffic and sharing the road with others is removed. Enthusiasts can explore the performance driving in a space designed specifically for it."
“The Time Attack strengthens the broader motoring community by bringing together a wide range of car enthusiasts. This shared environment fosters camaraderie, knowledge exchange, and a deeper appreciation for both driving skill and vehicle engineering. All of this contributes positively to a motoring culture that MasterDrive is proud to support,”
says Herbert.
For Cape Town residents and visitors alike, the Time Attack offers an accessible way to experience world-class motorsport without needing to travel far or hold specialist knowledge of racing. Families, first-time spectators, and seasoned petrolheads can all find something to enjoy, from the roar of engines to the camaraderie of a shared trackside atmosphere.
What to expect over the two days:
· Quad biking experiences
· Drift experiences
· 4x4 test drives and experiences
· Official car club show and shines

With Killarney Raceway and MasterDrive continuing their tradition of bringing exciting, accessible motorsport to the city, this event is well worth marking on the calendar. Spectators should arrive ready to enjoy two full days of high-octane entertainment, support local as well as national drivers and teams, and experience firsthand why Time Attack is a firm favourite on the Cape Town motorsport calendar
