Local businessman and racing driver Aldo Scribante will be taking on a brand new challenge this weekend as he heads to Zwartkops Raceway on the outskirts of Pretoria to take part in the inaugural Top of the Hill Challenge that will see a wide array of cars competing on a two kilometre hill climb that has set up in the reverse direction on the race track. The cars will start at turn four and head up the hill past the main pit area affording spectators a spectacular vantage point to view all of the action before they cross the finish line at the top of the hill at turn five.

Catering for purpose built racecars, supercars, street cars, single seaters, electric cars and historic and classic cars it gives the up country fans an opportunity to witness hill climb action first hand.

Competing in the B5 unlimited class for 4 wheel-drive racing cars with five cylinders or more, Scribante and his Audi S4 will be up against a host of purpose built hill-climb Nissan GTR R35’s driven by Reghardt Roets, George Evans and Franco Scribante.

Adding to action will be the participation of the VW Rookie Cup drivers who will get an opportunity to showcase their talents one more time before their season finale at Zwartkops later in the year. Local hot-shot Josh Moore will be taking on Uzair Khan, Judd Bertholdt and Dhivyen Naidoo in their matching VW Polo Vivo GT’s. 

The Zwartkops Top of the Hill Challenge start with practice and qualifying today (Friday), qualifying from 09h00 on Saturday before the finals start at 13h30 and all of the action can be livestreamed on the Motor Mouth Facebook page or on Two-Wheels TV on YouTube.
