The season that is loosely described as
summertime is mainly associated with bright colours, blooming flowers,
ever-green lawns, and so forth – and for a person who really knows how to add
some spice to the summer groove through driving around in their pimped
or un-pimped cars and bikes acting bossy or simple around the streets, it is thee
time.
Motorsport culture continues to grow
rapidly in Harare and other cities in Zimbabwe through partnership between
motorsport clubs and the founder of Extreme Blow Out festival Selekta Base who
has been playing pivotal roles in keeping the motorsport culture alive.
This time around the set up seems to
have switched up through the dubbed SELEKTA BASE CAR SHOW in April that is set
to attract an array of car enthusiasts at one place in a chilled environment without
the usual tyre screeching and bursting.
In an interview with ZimSphere with this author in Harare, the
host SELEKTA BASE revealed that motorsport clubs will receive trophies and
certificates for participation.
“In this edition clubs will receive
trophies and certificates for participating and we will also give recognition
to the best looking cars and bikes”, said Selekta Base.
There are going to be car dealerships
and car retailing companies exhibiting their current automobile models, debuts,
concept cars, or out-of-production classics, bikes and boats, entertainment
music, jumping castles and water slides; plus Rocomamas food and bar will not
be an exception for all the revellers.
Event planner and digital Marketer
Whitney Meares decided to coordinate in this edition giving motorsport enthusiasts
in Harare and from other parts of Zimbabwe a pre-independence party as good
food brings people together at a car show in a cool Harare sunny weather.
“I grew up in family which loved cars
hence I can say I decided to chip in and show appreciation towards the car
culture and my passion for cars”, said
Whitney.
Revellers of the previous car session
hosted by Selekta Base have proved that the motorsport culture needs to be
embraced as it creates a platform for local car enthusiasts to quench their
thirst through artistic and athletic participation.
