The Cape 1000 is set to return for its fourth edition from in March 2025. The event, which annually adjusts its routes to showcase different parts of the Western Cape, will start at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town, with stops in Hermanus, Franschhoek, and Ceres, before concluding back in Cape Town.
It will again be hosted in partnership with Private Clients by Old Mutual Wealth and will feature a new collaborator, the Official Ferrari Dealer Scuderia South Africa. Scuderia South Africa plans to participate with four vehicles, including both modern sports cars and classic models.
Entries for the event are now open, with participation limited to 65 cars. The Cape 1000, which started in 2022, is a regularity rally inspired by international tribute races.
It features four categories: Pre-1976 (Classic), 1977-1996 (Modern Classic), 1997-current (Sports), and Restomod/Recreation. This diversity allows a wide range of vehicles to compete, contributing to the event's unique character.
Event Director Vanessa Crichton expressed enthusiasm about the upcoming rally, highlighting its international appeal and the scenic routes that will be featured once again. The organisers intend to place greater emphasis on the regularity rallying component in next year’s event, while still maintaining the grand touring experience.
Private Clients by Old Mutual Wealth, a company specialising in investment and wealth management, continues to support The Cape 1000. Jean Minnaar, Managing Director, noted the alignment between the event’s celebration of engineering excellence and the company's core values. Minnaar also acknowledged the event’s role in attracting collectors from around the globe to South Africa.
Participants can look forward to an experience marked by stunning landscapes, high-quality accommodation, and strong camaraderie. Registration details are available at www.cape1000.com.
Proceeds from the event will support the Motorsport Legends Benevolent Fund, which provides financial assistance to members of the motorsport community in need, particularly those of older generations.
The event will also support the QuadPara Association of South Africa (QASA), a leading organisation representing individuals with spinal cord injuries and physical disabilities, offering programmes and services aimed at societal integration.
