Hidden inside five magazines will be double tickets to the all new Top Gear Festival, powered by BP Ultimate. This only applies to Issue 114 of the Speed and Sound Magazine that will hit the shelves on 21 February nationwide.

You may be one of the lucky winners that will get to revel in all that the BBC Top Gear team has to offer, including The Stig’s Hot Laps and Shed, The Stunt School and the Marque Park where all forms of motoring icons will be present.

Highlight of the show has to be the Top Gear Live Theatre where, for the first time in SA, Clarkson, Hammond and May will entertain you in true Top Gear fashion for an unadulterated 90 minutes.

The Top Gear Festival takes place from the 17-20 March at Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit and should already be marked in your diaries.

Issue 113

On Sale: 17 Jan

This month’s banging issue of Speed and Sound caters for just about everyone. Note that I said just about everyone – the Opel guys are probably not going to be overly impressed. Well, you know what they say – you can’t please everyone all the time. That said it’s still a pukka read with some crazy Jap flavour in the form of a set of Subaru twins from the house of ASE who are known for their insane Scooby builds. Get the low down on Global GTR’s latest track toy – a race ready monster GTR. It also happens to be our cover car this month with it’s striking branding. There’s a little bit of muscle too with a ‘70s Camaro that has been done just right. This one made the Staff Favourite a tough decision. Read more

Fast and Furious Kllarney

Once again the Cape was host to it’s biggest charity motoring event at Killarney Raceway. The Fast, Furious and Glorious Allstarz took place over the 26th and 27th of December, and as usual it was packed to capacity with competitors and spectators from all over the country. They were there to witness and take part in  some of the hottest Drag racing in the country as well as the show and shine, RC Drifting and sound off. the beauty of this event is that it’s held in aid of the Blouvlei L.S.E.N school and the organisers Extreme Concepts SA provided something for the whole family to enjoy.

Drag racers like Nazeer with his Turbo charged Nos GP BMW, Raymond Pillay with his naturally aspirated BMW 325, Shaid Essop with his beast like E30 BMW and Aslam Seedat with his naturally aspirated 2 door Golf were there.

Speed and Sound also made an appearance with “Batty” showing everyone how it’s done by running his personal best of 12.6 seconds in the fastest CSL E46 M3 in the country. Willie Nel was there with his V8 powered Can Am as well as Ahsraf Allie in his black Escort and Wesley Lewin in his Corolla.
