Headline Sponsors Fuel the Fun at the Simola Hillclimb Spectacle!
Where the smell of burning rubber and the roar of engines are akin to a symphony for petrolheads, there’s an event that stands out like a beacon of high-octane excitement – the Simola Hillclimb. Now, as we gear up for the 14th edition of this rubber-burning fiesta in Knysna from 2 to 5 May 2024, it’s not just the gravity-defying cars and their daredevil drivers that are drawing the crowds. Oh no, it’s also the glitzy, glamorous world of sponsorships that’s turning heads faster than a torque-heavy turbocharger.
Let’s start with Castrol, shall we? Celebrating their fifth year as the official lubricants partner, they’re the smooth operators ensuring every car is as slippery as a politician’s promise, with a presence so ubiquitous you’d think they’re lubricating the very fabric of the event. Their Media Centre will again be the nucleus of journalistic activity, buzzing with the clatter of keyboards and the fervent whispers of gossiping reporters. Castrol’s commitment to innovation is mirrored in the daredevilry of the drivers, making this partnership as perfect as a freshly paved race track.
Then there’s Suzuki Auto South Africa, sliding into their fourth year as a Tier 1 sponsor with the grace of a well-executed handbrake turn. Their participation resonates with the event’s unique charm, their fleet of vehicles ready to tackle the hill like adventurers scaling Everest. It’s a thrilling ride, not just for the cars but for the brand itself, as it continues to weave its narrative into the fabric of this motoring extravaganza.
Not to be outdone, Volkswagen returns as a Tier 2 Partner, ready to showcase the ex-WRX Polo in what promises to be a display of automotive excellence that could make even the most stoic of spectators weep with joy. Volkswagen’s line-up is like the guest list to an exclusive party – you know it’s going to be good, but they still manage to surprise you.
Hyundai, meanwhile, takes the practical route, providing the official media shuttles, ensuring that the event’s heroic moments are captured from every conceivable angle. They’re the unsung heroes, the reliable workhorses that keep the event running as smoothly as their finely tuned i30n.
And let’s not forget XPEL and PG Glass, who, in their roles, add a layer of polish to the event that ensures it shines brighter than a freshly waxed supercar under the African sun. XPEL’s dedication to protecting the aesthetics of the race cars is matched only by PG Glass’s commitment to ensuring everyone has a clear view of the action, both literally and metaphorically.
The Simola Hillclimb is more than just a race, it’s a showcase of partnerships and sponsorships that drive the event to new heights, proving that when companies like Castrol, Suzuki, Volkswagen, Hyundai, XPEL, and PG Glass come together, they create an experience that’s as thrilling as a flat-out sprint up the hill. So, buckle up, folks – the 14th edition of the Simola Hillclimb is not just a test of speed and skill, but a testament to the power of collaboration in the fast lane.
