F1 legend Mika Salo to host car TV show AND Drag against a local driver in South Africa.

Formula One racing legend Mika Salo is set to host the South African edition of TEST MY RIDE at the Killarney International Raceway. This fast-paced and furious car show pits amateur car enthusiasts and their beloved rides against an F1 driver on a professional racetrack.


If you’ve always dreamt of taking on a pro in the ride you’ve spent your life making just perfect for you, now’s your chance to do so under the cool, Scandinavian gaze of a man once ranked amongst the top ten drivers in the world. Hosted in combination with Killarney’s epic Street2Strip on ‘Fast Fridays’, Drag Racers can enter for the chance to pit their car in a timed drag run against Mika Salo.


How it works: Mika Salo will get into your car and do a timed drag run, you will then do the same in your car. Winner will receive spot prizes and their event fee returned. If interested please send a picture of your car, specs and your reason for wanting to take on the F1 driver to paul@wpmc.co.za by no later than Wednesday 30 September. Winner will be contacted directly so please include your cell number. Winner must be available to be at Killarney from 3pm onwards on Friday 2nd October 2015.


A lucky draw winner from the Spectators will be strapped into the passenger seat for a drag run display of a lifetime against one of Cape Town’s top drag racers. South African Producer, Patrick Walton of ShootAway Production comments, “This is a great opportunity to showcase our local talent on an international stage. It has taken two years to bring this format to Cape Town. My Finnish partners and I are excited about this and future series in other regions and countries.”
