So the second annual Good Hope FM Rev Life event is coming up this Saturday at Killarney and it’s promising to be an epic one of note. It’s probably to be this year’s biggest event yet with record breaking numbers at Killarney. Raceweb, along with a few other media houses was invited to a private media launch at the track yesterday to give us a small taster of what’s to be expected. [more]

On Saturday, 16th November Good Hope FM is once again hosting the extreme lifestyle event Rev Life at Killarney Race Track from 7am until 10pm. This year European Drift Champion James Deane will be joining the line-up to add some international flavour to this adrenaline-fuelled motor fest. James, born and raised in Ireland, started competing when he was only 15 years old and is Europe’s most successful drifter and youngest ever Prodrift Champion. Since then, James has gone on to Win 5 Pro Class Championships throughout Europe, collecting 31 Podium finishes, at some of the World’s most prestigious events. [more]

The best way for me to describe going to this event is like giving a knife to a monkey, you just never know what’s going to happen. Saldanha Top End Drags has been in existence for the last half a decade or so and has firmly grown into one of the Western Capes most anticipated and well attended events. There’s thousands and thousands of people who flock to the airfield every year, sometimes twice a year. This year however the organisers decided to skip the April event to focus on making the end of year one a success. But did they? [more]

So a few articles back I posted a story on “Preparing for the All Tar Rally” with team 426, Dexter Bruce and Ernest Page. It was the process of getting their car sorted for the grueling All Tar Rally. With that done and dusted the day finally arrived and I was to follow the team’s progress throughout the day to give you, the reader, an inside view of what’s it like to actually participate in one of these events.

As a child I always wanted to own a red Ferrari because Magnum had one. As a teenager I wanted one because James Crockett( Miami Vice) had a new one in every season and was also the reason for not wearing socks for a year. Yesterday I decided that I must have one because they’re just so flipping cool. They look awesome, sound better and let’s not even get into the clothing available. Ferrari became more than just an automobile, it has finally dawned upon me that it’s a way of life. [more]

I’m rather excited right now, and I’m not even going to be racing. It’s that time of the year again, it’s time for the All Tar Rally at Killarney!! It’s not like your normal rally, this is basically one massive super special type stage held inside and all around the circuit. Like the name says, it’s all on tarmac, and when I say all, I do mean ALL! That’s basically why I’m so excited because I will get to see race and rally cars go balls to the wall through places you’d never expect cars to be racing. They race through the pit area, side roads, service roads, through the tunnel… you name it! Oh, and they do race on track too, but ironically that’s the boring part of it! [more]

As Colin Chapman once said: Simplify, then add lightness. He couldn’t have applied that theory better when he came up with the Lotus 7 as it is still considered the embodiment of the brand. Originally designed in 1957 it is one of the most successful models today due to its boy racer appeal. Caterham currently own the rights to the car but there are still plenty made all over the world in kit car form. Today I got to drive a fine example of one. [more]

So, Last Year this time we started preparing to go to SEMA 2012. For those who don’t know, go read the article we posted about it back in October last year. 09:30 AM, 29th October 2012, our bags were packed, we had managed to arrange US VISA’s, SEMA Applications, Hotel Accommodation and copious amounts of research in record time. But Mother Nature had a different idea. Hurricane Sandy hit the East Coast of the States with devastating effects. Our flight, along with 7000 others all around the world was cancelled. [more]
