If the words “Jy dink jy’s cooler as ekke” mean something to you, you’re probably a Jack Parow fan – and if that’s the case we have some really good news for you.
FUNNY BUSINESS
Parow – along with “The Cousin” Barry Hilton – has been confirmed as part of the entertainment line-up at this year’s Top Gear Festival which takes place on June 21 and 22 at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban. Parow will be performing a customised rap, live in the Top Gear Live Stadium Show, which should raise the eyebrows of the zany Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond trio – while Hilton will be taking the mickey out of fans in the Elite Village area.
NEW STREET CIRCUIT
With less then a month to go before the Top Gear Festival, fans can again expect a street circuit, but this year with a revised layout promising closer action for spectators. The circuit will loop back onto itself along Battery Road, with revised grandstand positions aimed at creating a stadium feel.
The Stig will be on on hand in both the show and circuit events doing what he does best, but another little track highlight is a new Time Attack Invitational, which includes 30 South African racing drivers competing against each other in some seriously exotic metal – and a 90-minute track show, grudge matches, races, and even a daredevil record attempt.
And we’ve saved the best for last.
TRULY COOL PRIZE
One lucky reader stands a chance to win an amazing trip to the Festival for two people. The prize includes return flights (departing the Saturday morning and returning the Sunday afternoon); airport transfers; one night’s accommodation including dinner and breakfast; SunCoast Entertainment World vouchers worth R1 000; two Top Gear Festival SuperSport Elite Village tickets (includes tickets to the Top Gear Live Stadium Show at 1.30pm on the Sunday); and a ride (for the winner only, not partner, sorry!) on the Top Gear Festival Street Circuit on the Sunday.
