PRETORIA CARS IN THE PARK

The 36th running of the annual Cars in the Park at Zwartkops Raceway in Pretoria ON Sunday 2 August looks set to break all previous records in terms of the number of cars and spectators attending. Last year, over 3 000 classic and special interest cars showed up at venue and there were over 15 000 spectators, the biggest crowd that Zwartkops has hosted for any event. This year, over 100 car clubs have booked special areas, and with interest in classic cars at a fever pitch thanks to the proliferation of television shows publicising the ‘old-timer passion’, the organisers are catering for an even bigger turn-out. Apart from the classics, the show also caters for various other types of special interest cars such as muscle cars and hot rods. Extra car park areas and access roads have been created to cater for the anticipated increased traffic.
