Originally to have run at Kyalami from August 21 to 24 this year, the Festival of Motoring, presented by WesBank, has been staged yearly since 2016. It is the largest automotive show on the African continent and the only national industry supported event endorsed by the National Association of Automobile Manufacturers of SA .
“We pride ourselves in putting together world-class events. This decision has not been taken lightly. It is important that we support the industry and offer a platform that meets its needs. We have been engaging with the industry over the past two months. The view is that they would like to support the event and would aim to do so in 2021,” adds Low.
“We have exciting new initiatives planned for the 2021 event. These include the introduction of the SA biking fraternity, enhanced activations and displays for electric vehicles, trendy lifestyle content, a charity ride and other motor-tainment elements to ensure we broaden the appeal of the event and make it a fun-filled day for all visitors,” Low says.
