What began as a grassroots passion project is now a headline act at Africa’s premier motoring showcase. Vilaca Racing, South Africa’s fastest-growing time attack championship, will feature live on-track as a centrepiece attraction at the 2025 Kyalami Festival of Motoring — the continent’s largest celebration of automotive culture.
Emerging from local circuits and a deep love for motorsport, the Vilaca Racing Time Attack Championship has evolved into a national sensation, and its presence at the iconic Kyalami grand prix circuit marks a powerful moment in the series’ journey.
Round 4 of the 2025 Vilaca Racing Time Attack Championship promises to deliver unmatched excitement as motorsport racers go head-to-head against the clock in a display of speed, precision, and performance. As part of the Festival of Motoring’s adrenaline-charged lineup, this round will showcase some of the country’s fastest track cars in various categories.
“Kyalami has always been the heart of South African motorsport, and bringing our Time Attack series to the Festival of Motoring is a milestone we’re incredibly proud of,” says Jonathan Vilaca, founder and owner of Vilaca Racing. “This event perfectly embodies our passion for racing and our mission to grow the local motorsport scene. We’re giving both new and seasoned drivers a chance to live their racing dreams on one of the most iconic circuits in the world.”
Unlike traditional motorsport formats, Time Attack is all about racing the clock. It’s a pure test of driver skill and vehicle performance, where the fastest lap wins. With multiple car classes, covering everything from an ordinary vehicle to a fully turbo-charged race machine – there’s a place on the track for everyone.
Now in its 6th season, the Vilaca Racing Time Attack Championship has become a fast-growing motorsport movement, offering a legal, safe and controlled alternative to illegal street and drag racing.
Spectators at Kyalami can expect a high-energy experience with roaring engines, fierce competition, and a festival vibe that brings together the best of motorsport culture, adding to the buzz of over 100 exhibitors and automotive showcases.
From Gauteng’s top motor circuits – Red Star Raceway, Zwartkops Raceway, Formula-K SA Circuit, to its debut as a feature at the Festival of Motoring, Vilaca Racing is redefining grassroots motorsport.
Catch the action, feel the adrenaline, and be part of South Africa’s ultimate Time Attack motor track racing experience. For more information and event updates, visit www.vilacaracing.co.za
