The Cape 1000, hosted by Old Mutual Wealth Private Clients, is an extraordinary automotive adventure showcasing South Africa’s stunning scenery. Drawing inspiration from the iconic Mille Miglia, this prestigious event brings together a handpicked collection of vintage classics, contemporary collectibles, and elite supercars.
What To Expect
Participants navigate scenic mountain routes, picturesque coastal highways, and rolling vineyard landscapes in a rally unlike any other. From 16 to 21 March 2025, the event will once again bring together motoring excellence and scenic splendour, creating an experience that is both exhilarating and deeply refined.
Kicking off with an elegant launch dinner at Scuderia Ferrari in Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront, the rally sets out from the Cape Culinary School before weaving its way through beautifully scenic destinations. Over four days and five nights, participants will indulge in a luxurious itinerary that blends the thrill of the drive with world-class hospitality, fine dining, and boutique wine experiences.
With only 65 entries selected through a rigorous vetting process, participation in the Cape 1000 is as exclusive as the cars themselves.
Cruising for a Cause
Beyond its celebration of motoring heritage, the Cape 1000 dedicates a portion of the proceeds to charitable causes, including the QuadPara Association of South Africa (QASA), which supports individuals with spinal cord injuries and physical disabilities. Additionally, the Motorsport Legends Benevolent Fund benefits from the event, ensuring that the passion for performance extends beyond the road to uplift those in need.
Organised by Ross and Vanessa Crichton, the Cape 1000 is a testament to the timeless allure of classic motoring — capturing the essence of adventure, sophistication, and a deep love for classic automobiles.
