Kyalami – Johannesburg
Zwartkops – Johannesburg
Killarney – Cape Town
At 2.4km, Zwartkops is short on length but definitely not on
excitement and racing challenges.
The track comprises eight corners, including three fast bends
and one 180° hairpin turn. Above all, the “Big Z” is designed to
be a driver's circuit that tests technical ability to the max.
FANTASTIC RACING
Tracks
Zwartkops is midway between Johannesburg and Pretoria/Tshwane.
Kyalami – Johannesburg
Killarney – Cape Town
Kyalami is a world-class track with a wealth of motorsport
heritage. It has played host to no less the twenty F1 Grands
Prix as well as five rounds of the World Superbike series.
Killarney is a classic track - ideal for novices but also a
stern challenge for those willing to pin back their ears.
The 4.2km circuit consists of long straights and a heady
mix of fast and slow corners – not to mention the infamous
mine shaft – providing an exhilarating challenge that
continues to test the technical skill of the world’s top racing
drivers.
Kyalami is located 20 minutes from the heart of Sandton.
The 3.2km circuit hosted the F1 Cape Grand Prix in the
early 1960s and put the likes of Jim Clark and Stirling
Moss through their fabled paces. Since then it has developed
every facet of circuit racing, including Motocross, Karting,
Super Motards, Stock Cars and Drag Racing – but most
importantly, Fantastic Racing!
Just 30 minutes north of the city centre, the track boasts
magnificent views of Table Mountain.

limits in highly competitive single-seater Reynard racing cars
on a monthly basis. Racing takes place in the Formula Libre
race series.

racing career without any of the hassles of ownership and
transport – all you need to do is arrive and drive! We offer Arrive

Formula Libre Races:
Fantastic Racing offers clients a chance to take part
in the regional race weekends, where we race our
Reynards as part of a multi-series race programme.
It’s great because it’s a spectator event where you
can watch other formulas racing as well as fully
participating in the Formula Libre races.
Fantastic Racing will ensure your car is prepared
ahead of each race, stored and transported to the
track and branded with your personal or corporate
logo. Once you have finished racing, all you have to
do is walk away. Our dedicated team of mechanics
and technicians will then step in and do the rest.
Fantastic Racing’s Private Races:
Time to sit back and enjoy the hospitality and marvel
at your lap times.
Private race afternoons are organised solely for our
clients. This has the huge advantage of condensing
the whole programme into 3 to 4 hours as opposed
to over the whole of Friday and Saturday. This is ideal
for time-constrained executives who have both business
and family time pressures.
Fantastic Racing will also give you all the contacts
and support you may need to fulfil your passion and
ambition of chequered-flag finishes.

Jordan Formula 1
Brand new for 2008 and unique to South Africa,
we are proud to announce the arrival of two
Jordan F1 cars – bona fide Grand Prix WINNERS!
Our Jordan made its debut at the 1998 Australian
Grand Prix. Later that year, Jordan drivers Damon
st
nd
Hill and Ralf Schumacher placed 1 and 2 at
the Belgian Grand Prix in what was Jordan's first
Grand Prix win. This was closely followed by
Heinz Harald Frentzen’s two victories in 1999,
leading to Jordan’s highest ever Constructor’s
Championship placing of third that season.
It will accelerate, brake and corner at speeds
that seem to defy all logic. It is the ultimate drive
available at Fantastic Racing and will eclipse
anything else you will ever experience.
By the end of your session, you will be able to
claim to have tamed one of the most revered and
feared race cars ever built. We throw in the
bragging rights for free.
