What started 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 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. 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 unmatched excitement as racers go head-to-head against the clock, showcasing 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 across 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.”
Unlike traditional motorsport formats, Time Attack is all about racing the clock — a pure test of driver skill and vehicle performance, where the fastest lap wins. With classes ranging from everyday vehicles to turbo-charged race machines, there’s a place for everyone on the track.
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 racing.
Spectators at Kyalami can look forward to high-energy experiences, fierce competition, and a vibrant festival atmosphere bursting with over 100 exhibitors and various automotive showcases.
From Gauteng’s top circuits to its debut at the Festival of Motoring, Vilaca Racing is redefining grassroots motorsport. Catch the excitement and be part of South Africa’s ultimate Time Attack racing experience. Visit www.vilacaracing.co.za for more information.
