2027 Simola Hillclimb

There is nothing quite like a weekend at the Simola Hillclimb. Set in the heart of Knysna on South Africa’s spectacular Garden Route, the Simola Hillclimb brings together four days of speed, incredible cars, entertainment and unmistakable atmosphere for one of the country’s most memorable long weekends. From 29 April to 2 May 2027, thousands of spectators will descend on Knysna for the 17th edition of the Simola Hillclimb — whether they are lifelong motorsport fans, car lovers, families looking for an unforgettable day out, or simply coming to experience The Hill for the first time. The weekend starts with Fan Fest, bringing the action into the heart of Knysna with car displays, entertainment, food and the chance to see the cars and drivers up close. On Friday, Classic Car Friday sees 65 iconic, historic and classic cars take on the 1.9 km Simola Hill in pursuit of the Classic Conqueror title. Then the intensity steps up for King of the Hill, with two days of supercars, race cars and purpose-built Hillclimb machines going flat-out against the clock. It is fast. It is loud. And from the cars and racing to the views, atmosphere and sheer spectacle of The Hill, you do not have to be a motorsport fan to have an incredible time. Make a weekend of it. Bring your friends. Bring the family. Come and experience the Simola Hillclimb for yourself. 29 April – 2 May 2027 | Knysna, Western Cape Follow @SimolaHillclimb on Facebook and Instagram for the latest news, entry announcements and event updates.
