The 13th edition of the Simola Hillclimb saw more than 17 000 spectators return to Knysna, along with superstar drivers. Take a look through our mega gallery to see all the action.
WRX Champion Petter Solberg had the crowd on their feet throughout the three-day lifestyle motoring event. Every time he pulled up to the line in his VW Polo R WRX Supercar, we were guaranteed a show as not once did the rally champ hold back - despite not having the right tyres on his car.

Andre Bezuidenhout wins his sixth King of the Hill at the 2023 Simola Hillclimb in Knysna.
Supplied FRANKYSFUNKYFOTOS
Former F1 Mika Salo was so impressed by all the local cars and how fast they were, while Solberg's brother, rally veteran Henning, also did well up the hill in his VW entry.
Andre Bezuidenhout took his sixth King of the Hill crown, but it was no easy task since the competition was extremely fierce in all the classes. Read about all the winners here.
A record number of eight manufacturers participated in the 2023 event, with Suzuki Auto South Africa making a lasting impression with their three stock-standard Swift Sport entries in the A1 Class.
There were simulator activations, and spectators could also purchase pit-entry access tickets to the show, while the public also had free access to the grand parade on Thursday and Friday.
