WHAT ARE UPGRADES & EXTRAS?

Upgrades will be available to everyone once you have purchased your General Entry or VIP Entry ticket.

PIT ACCESS

Access into the pitlane is restricted in numbers and is tightly controlled for safety reasons. Add this Upgrade to get close to the cars, speak to the drivers and enjoy the smell of rubber and launch sounds at the Start line. Do not delay – tickets are limited and sell out fast, so book now!

TURN 2 GRANDSTAND

Situated at the second corner from the start, this 400-seater grandstand offers you a view of the Start line and the uphill to The Bridge where front runner cars reach up to approximately 250km/h. Limited seating, this is a popular spot so book your seat now!

PIT PRIORITY PARKING

Pit Priority Parking allows a ticketholder to park closer to the Pits in a field nearby. Not advisable for Piston Club ticket holders (the Piston Club facility is at the top of the hill and the parking at the bottom) nor for low vehicles as access is via a dirt road.
If you have General Entry tickets, the elderly and young children should be dropped off at the Pit Ticket Entrance before you continue down to the parking as there is walk along a dirt road from the Pit Priority Parking to the Pit Ticket Entrance. If you have purchased a Pit Access upgrade, you will have access to the Pits via the back entrance.
Parking stickers must be collected from the Pit Priority Parking collection point outside Muse restaurant on Old Cape Road, shortly after turning off the N2. It will be clearly signposted.

You have two options to get to the event:

The access road to the Piston Club is gravel and steep, and it is not advisable to drive to the Piston Club if it is raining or if you drive a low vehicle – rather catch the Shuttle which leaves from Trotter Street and then get the complimentary Piston Club Shuttle.

NB: Pit Priority Parking is at the bottom of the hill, a far walk for a Piston Club ticketholder. If you wish to drive down to the Pits we suggest you purchase a Pit Priority Parking upgrade so that you can park close by. Please note this parking area is not recommended for low cars or if it is raining.

If you do not want to purchase the Upgrade, we recommend taking the complimentary Piston Club shuttle down to the Pits, or alternatively stroll down the hill, through Gasoline Alley, past the Turn 2 Grandstand and into the Pits.
