South Africa’s ultimate automotive and motorsport experience — live on track at the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit.
A Decade of Drive. A Lifetime of Legacy.
The roar returns to the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit from 27–29 August 2027 as the 10th Festival of Motoring (FoM), powered by WesBank, celebrates a decade of bringing South Africa’s automotive community together.Marking this landmark 10th edition, the Festival of Motoring looks ahead to the future while celebrating the legacy that has helped establish it as the largest industry-supported auto show in South Africa and on the African continent.
From the latest vehicle launches and automotive technology to high-octane driving experiences, exhibitors, entertainment and family-focused activities, FoM 2027 will bring together the people, brands and experiences that continue to shape the world of motoring.
With more than 40 pit doors supported by leading vehicle manufacturers and importers, visitors can get closer to the latest vehicles and technologies than ever before. From automotive products and services to lifestyle offerings, custom builds and everything in between, the festival brings together an extensive range of exhibitors and experiences for motoring enthusiasts of all ages.
But Festival of Motoring is far more than an exhibition. It’s an opportunity to experience the world of cars in motion. Visitors can get behind the wheel of the latest models on the iconic Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit, put their skills to the test on the dynamic self-handling track, or tackle the dedicated 4×4 off-road course. Add live entertainment, delicious food, family-friendly activities and a packed programme of motoring experiences, and you have three days designed to celebrate the passion, excitement and culture that bring the automotive community together.
Ten editions. One iconic venue. A decade of driving the future.
