“We know that the current economic climate continues to impact consumers heavily, so we made the decision not to increase the General Entry ticket prices for next year,” Shrosbree says. “Spectators still have the option to build their own Simola Hillclimb packages with optional upgrades and extras, including Pit Access tickets, Turn 2 Grandstand seating and VIP Parking.”
General Entry tickets for the 2023 Simola Hillclimb are R150 per day when purchased online, or R160 at the gate, while the 3 Day Pass encompasses all the action from Friday to Sunday and offers exceptional value at R380 online, or R420 at the gate.

Pit Access tickets are limited in the interests of safety, and allow fans to get into the heart of the bustling pitlane action to view the cars and drivers up close. Tickets cost R220 per day, or R600 for the 3-Day Pass (or R240 and R640 respectively at the gate, although these are likely to sell out well before the event). VIP parking near the pitlane is recommended for those who have upgraded their tickets to include Pit Access, and can only be secured online at R120 per day.
The Turn 2 Grandstand provides a superb vantage point to see the cars charging off the start line, through the first two corners and up the first part of the steep Simola Hill. Ticket prices remain unchanged at R230 per day or R600 for the 3-Day Pass (or R260 and R680 respectively at the gate).
“Our exclusive VIP hospitality packages provide the ultimate five-star Simola Hillclimb experience, and are usually sold out well before the event so book early to avoid missing out,” Shrosbree says.
