This regularity car rally, first launched in 2022, is inspired by legendary tribute races from around the world, with participants competing in four different categories, namely Pre-1976 (Classic); 1977-1996 (Modern Classic); 1997-current (Sports) and Restomod/Recreation.
“Although we have a limited supercar category, the Cape 1000 aims to showcase older and rarer vehicles,” explains Crichton. Among this year’s entries are a 1935 Bentley Derby Special, 1958 Corvette Stingray SWC, 1966 Sunbeam Tiger and a 1973 Ferrari Dino.
The four-day rally will kick-off at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town and make its way through Swellendam, George, Oudtshoorn and Hermanus before returning to the Waterfront. While most of the route is devoted to grand touring, the event organisers will focus more intently on the regularity rallying or competitive driving aspect of next year’s event.
Entrants can expect a truly unforgettable experience characterised by spectacular scenery, world-class accommodation and unparalleled camaraderie and are encouraged to register at www.cape1000.com
