25 and 26 October will see the return of competitive hillclimb racing to the Mother City when Speed Classic Cape Town roars to life against the stunning backdrop of Table Mountain.

Witness the challenging, twisting tarmac of Philip Kgosana Drive transform into a racetrack, and celebrate the heart of motoring heritage and modern performance.

Speed Classic Cape Town features an invitational field of rare, iconic, and high-performance machines. The weekend is split into two distinct, high-octane experiences: The Classic Car race on Saturday is a magnificent showcase of timeless engineering and timeless design, bringing some of the rarest motoring jewels out of private collections and onto the track. On Sunday, the King of the Mountain challenge shifts the focus to modern marvels, where cutting-edge supercars, GT3s, and speed machines battle the clock for the ultimate time trial glory.

Backed by Motorsport South Africa and the City of Cape Town, Speed Classic is designed to be a world-class, family-friendly event. Beyond the roar of the engines, attendees can enjoy a vibrant Race Village with local food vendors, lifestyle activations, open paddocks for up-close views of the vehicles, and premium VIP Hospitality options.

Speed Classic Cape Town is where motor racing’s past meets its electrifying future, and connoisseurs, speed enthusiasts and families can look forward to a unforgettable experience.

Crafting Trendy Wedding Celebrations That Wow

Most women have been planning their wedding for years. Long before the man. Long before the ring. Long before the venue. Colours chosen, décor imagined, favours decided. It all felt certain then. But time changes things. Styles evolve. Tastes mature. And what felt right a decade ago doesn’t always reflect who you are now. Add to that how quickly wedding trends shift year on year, and it’s easy to feel caught between staying true to your original vision and wondering if you’re missing something new.

The Long Way Home: Our Top Three SUVs to Consider in 2026

There’s a particular kind of silence that settles over the bushveld just before sunset. The air cools, the dust hangs golden and somewhere in the distance a fish eagle calls across a dam fringed with fever trees. It’s in moments like these that South Africans remember why we drive the vehicles we do. In 2026, three new SUVs – the iCAUR 03T, Mitsubishi Destinator and LEPAS L4 – arrive on local soil with a shared promise: to take families, explorers and urban adventurers further, more comfortably and with greater confidence than ever before.

In this feature, we explore what makes autumn scents so evocative, the science behind how smell affects us and how to choose a fragrance that’s psychologically attuned to autumn’s emotional palette.
