It’s been five long years. Five years of watching the Simola Hillclimb from behind a screen, with major FOMO and the sound of roaring engines echoing in my chest instead of under my feet. But this year? I’m back. And not just as a spectator—I’m returning as accredited media, baby. Drive Diva style.
The last time I rolled into Knysna for Simola was 2019, behind the wheel of my very first Mustang. I remember every moment—the sunrise over the winding roads, the soundtrack of throttle crackles through mountain curves, the energy of the event, and that feeling you get when motorsport collides with lifestyle in the most electrifying way.
This year, I’m doing it again.
Same passion. New Mustang. Same mountain. But now, I get to cover it from the inside—capturing the heart-pounding action, the behind-the-scenes buzz, and everything that makes Simola Hillclimb the holy grail of South African motorsport.
So why is Simola so phenomenal?
It’s more than just a hillclimb. It’s a full sensory overload. A showcase of pure power, precision, and passion where some of the country’s most beautiful machines—and boldest drivers—go head-to-head on one of the most challenging strips of tarmac in motorsport.
Expect jaw-dropping builds, screaming engines, passionate fans, and that rare atmosphere where petrolheads, families, influencers, and industry insiders all gather for the same thing: the thrill.
I’ll be covering everything—from pit lane madness to scenic must-see stops around Knysna, and maybe a few tire-screeching selfies if you’re lucky. This year is personal. It’s full circle. And it’s powered by pure Drive Diva energy.
Follow me for the ride. Trust me—you’re going to want to buckle in.
