Accommodation near Phakisa Freeway - 2
Phakisa Freeway is made up of a 4.24km road course designed for both the average joe looking to hone in on their skill set as well as serious professionals who are wanting to compete. Having been established in 1999, the freeway is now recognised as a world-class circuit which has hosted some of the top names in international motorsport. With the name ‘Phakisa’, which means ‘get moving’ in Sotho, the track has received high praise from several global icons such as Max Biaggi and Gary McCoy.
International and locals competitors flock to Welkom to compete in these internationally recognised tournaments, a major city in Free State located halfway between Johannesburg and Bloemfontein.
There is always a hubbub of activity at the freeway - from weekend racing to open practise days for members of the public. For R100 per session, one is able to test out their cars or motorcycles around the track. Annually, the venue hosts numerous events, including the Wesbank Series. The event features supercars, motorbikes, production cars and Formula Volkswagen racing. Furthermore, the Phakisa Freeway was the chosen destination for the South African Motorcycle Grand Prix of the MotoGP Championship from the years 1999 to 2004.
Not only is it a suitable for speed-racers, but the track itself is incredibly challenging too. Says Valentino Rossi, a former winner of the African MotoGP, “you have to be brave to win here". The main feature of the course is the 2.5km oval racetrack, which consists of 14 tricky twists and turns and a long straight of 413 metres – an opportunity for motorists to reach incredible speeds.
