Heritage Day for me this year was filled with a different kind of smoke that I must admit I prefer. The smell of tyre and clutch abuse was lingering on my clothing well into the evening thanks to the Last Lion Lifestyle Supercar track day at Killarney International Raceway.


Most of us have been to track days before and I hate to boast but this was like nothing you can ever imagine on your wildest day. With supercar numbers reaching the 65+ mark this was definately one of the largest supercar track days in South Africa, if not Africa! This seems to be the trend with this group when they arrange events.


The entrance of the new pit area alluded to something special happening with the VIP rope and red-carpet.


The red carpet was lined with Lamborghini’s latest and greatest including my new favourite, the Huracan, which had two stunning examples on track all day.


We were spoilt to a sea of 458’s and R8’s which seem to be the most popular weapon of choice for the a lot more fortunate of society.


From race bred track machines like this GT3 to even 4 door super luxury saloons like the Aston Martin Rapide S, they were all here and on track!


Porsche were also well represented with some track ready road cars in the GT range.


What a screamer she was!


Cars getting scrutineered in the Dunlop Zone before going out on track.


The guys from RACE! teased us with their one of a kind wide body Liberty Walked Nissan GTR R35 and stunning Vorsteiner M4.


The silent but definitely very violent BMW I8 Hybrid supercar whispered around the track and chased down a lot of its louder prey all afternoon.


Safety at events like this is always a major concern because of the mere value of the equipment used and the Killarney staff once again provided an excellent service to the racers and spectator’s.


This KTM X Bow was one of the more unique cars on the day.


The pace cars (Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder driven by our very own Raceweb Editor, Junaid Hamid & Mercedes AMG driven by Dexter Bruce and Ernest Page) managed the on track proceedings perfectly and by the end of the day you could see the massive improvement in all-round driving.


Guests were well provided for all day with cold energy drinks courtesy of Red Bull and awesome food followed by sponsored smokes in the upstairs lounge area. The hive of activity was pit lane which was filled with conversation, idling engines and laughter all day.


If you're wondering, yes, this track day was in reverse. A once in a life time chance to have driven Killarney in the anti clockwise format. A Lamborghini Huracan and BMW i8 going the "wrong" way into turn 3.


Because of the new anti-clockwise format, drivers were invited to a special track day driving course a few days before the time hosted by advanced driving instructor, Junaid Hamid at Mirror Edge Networks. It was an interesting learning curve for most but everyone walked away with new valuable information in hand and boosted confidence to take on the reverse track.

The McLaren 650s was definately one of the quickest car's out on track for the day.


The GTR playing catch with the big boys!


Like the last event the common denominator was the passion for all things motorsport. The lifestyle being promoted is something to aspire to because the grass is greener on the other side and it’s really not that bad.


Now this is an ass I could look at all day long! Definately the star car of the event.


Well done to the team for arranging another perfect event and I am keeping my fingers crossed for the next invitation. From left to right: Junaid Hamid, Ish Kaskar, Ernest Page, Dexter Bruce, Brandon Vorster (Lamborghini Cape Town). Benji Berman was missing in this pic.


Thanks to the event partners for all their support, Lamborghini Cape Town, Dunlop Tyres, Velocity Cars and Red Bull.

Here's the official video of the event, do yourself a favour and sit back, turn up the volume and enjoy! Dont forget to check out the rest of the gallery below.

See you at the next event!
