Associations in Cape Town

SAKRA has formed partnerships with Cape Peninsula University of Technology & South African Motor Sport Industries Association.
In this particular regard SAKRA is indebted at this time to CPUT.
The partnership which SAKRA enjoys with SAMIA ensures daily contact with the needs of the motor sport industry in South Africa, thus allowing SAKRA to be informed of developments & the needs of the Retail Motor Industry.

Good luck guys, we know this is all going to be very new and exciting and you will be extremely nervous but just do your best and enjoy the whole experience. If you do happen to bring home a trophy that will be fantastic but if that does not happen all you need to do is complete all your racers and you will be a winners. Simon with a years’ experience on the national circuit is our most experienced driver and it will be good for the new guys on the block to see what he can do on home turf. Good luck and have a great race meeting, your team mates and all of team SAKRA will be shouting for you. Whilst South Africa is internationally recognised as having produced many successful motorsport competitors, its reputation as a major player in the global motorsport industry has been virtually non-existent. One cannot blame this on a lack of successful businesses in the sector, but rather on the absence of an officially recognized, formalized and structured motorsport industry. Within the past year, however, this situation has changed dramatically with the launch of the South African Motorsport Industry Association. SAMIA is a trade association which has as its objective the growth and development of a sustainable and vibrant South African motorsport industry. As well as providing an umbrella organisation to encompass the many initiatives that are being introduced in the various categories of motorsport, it is also a primary aim of SAMIA to use the attraction of motorsport to encourage challenged youngsters in South Africa into technical and engineering skills training. The MIA has subsequently played a pivotal role in the growth and development of a dynamic British motorsport industry. SAMIA has already attracted many high profile and influential business amongst its many member companies. When Brian Sims attended the launch last year of SAKRA, it became obvious that there was a high level of synergy between the aims of the two organisations. Joy Dolinschek was one of many influential figures from the new industry at the inaugural SAMIA Industry Awards, held in Association with Business Day. The Awards recognize outstanding technical and business achievement with in the South African motorsport industry.
