Partnerships between the City and a group of talented event organisers led to Cape Town being voted the World’s Leading Festival and Event Destination for 2018 at the World Travel Awards. An announcement on these developments will be made in due course,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security, Alderman JP Smith. ‘We are already in discussion with some organisations about possibly bringing more ocean-based events to Cape Town. This is the touch of the shore as we plan to explore the City’s growing potential to host events that optimise the natural environment.

As a city lined by two oceans, Cape Town has made full use of this environmental resource by staging various events including the Volvo Ocean Race and the ITU Triathlon World Cup, among others. However, motorsport is not the only sector we are looking into. ‘Hosting the Red Bull Cape Town Circuit this past weekend was another feather in our cap. The cars run on 100 percent renewable energy and having such an event here would also assist us in raising awareness and taking action against air pollution,’ added Alderman Plato.Ĭape Town has already proven its capability to host motor sporting events with the success of the FIA Rallycross Championship at Killarney over the last two years, as well as the annual Drift City at the iconic Grand Parade. ‘An economic injection and the accompanying job creation opportunities for our local communities are just some of the benefits of bringing Formula E to Cape Town.

In the three years that Formula E has been hosted in Hong Kong, it has contributed approximately R1,4 billion into that economy. We will follow all the stringent procedures and requirements that we have in place for events to ensure that all those who will be affected are satisfied with the process,’ said the City’s Executive Mayor Alderman Dan Plato. ‘While we are excited to present this event to the residents of Cape Town, we have not yet taken a decision and our residents will be asked to give their input once the feasibility study hopefully confirms that we can indeed host Formula E in our beautiful city. Supported by the City, the consortium will undertake a feasibility study this month in order to test the practicality of hosting this event in Cape Town. The City of Cape Town has been approached by the Cape Town Formula E Consortium about the possibility of bringing the Formula E to the city.įormula E, sanctioned by the International Automobile Federation (FIA), is a class of motorsport that uses only electric-powered cars and has been operational since 2014.
