What’s Included*
Five nights accommodation with breakfast included. Unwind each night in stunning Cape hotels, offering a blend of historic charm and modern luxury. Selected for their unique character and exceptional service, our choice of accommodation ensures you’ll be relaxed, recharged and ready to go the following morning.
Share your experiences with fellow participants as you are wined, dined and entertained in some of the best locations the Cape has to offer. Refuel with four evening meals, limited complimentary wine, daily light lunches, and take in the vistas from the most picturesque mobile coffee bar in Africa!
As an all-inclusive package, the Cape 1000 provides exclusive entry into Killarney Race Track, where participants get to put their cars through their paces and test their agility within the safety of a closed circuit.
We expect the entrant’s cars to be in fine fettle, but we anticipate the odd mechanical issue will arise. Should anything go wrong, our light mechanical support team will do what they can to get you back on the road or trailer your vehicle to the nearest mechanical workshop.
All participants receive a luxury goodie bag that will delight and surprise.
Costs
R125 000 incl. VAT per team of two people sharing.
Payment Schedule
100% of the total invoice amount will be payable within 48 hours of receipt of the invoice in respect of The Cape 1000 Event.
Cancellation Policy
– The Registration in respect of The Cape 1000 Event will be transferable to another party up to and including the 31st October 2025, subject to that vehicle’s approval by the admissions committee.
– It will be understood between the Parties that the transfer of the Registrations set out in paragraph 1 above will result in logistical challenges wherein some regalia items cannot be supplied to a newly registered Client due to time constraints.
– A 10% Cancellation fee will be applied where a Client cancels his or her Registration on or before 31st October 2025 and does not transfer the registration to another approved party.
– A 50% Cancellation fee will be applied where a Client cancels his or her Registration between 1st November 2025 and 13th January 2026.
– A 100% Cancellation fee will be applied where a Client cancels his or her Registration from 14th January 2026 onwards, as this inhibits The Cape 1000 from making such Registration available to another client.
Please note: Unforeseen cancellations due to medical reasons, unrest, natural disaster, force majeure, or any other related circumstances are subject to the above-mentioned terms and do not constitute a valid reason for waiver of the cancellation policy terms.
Prizes
The main prize goes to the overall winner of the regulatory stages who will gain legendary status in the history of the Cape 1000.
The top 3 winners of the regulatory stages from each class will receive an award.
As determined by the participants, this is your chance to vote for the team you think captured the event’s spirit. The Spirit of the Cape 1000 prize is the one to win.
