When you think about lifestyle, you might imagine luxury shopping or a soft, cushy life. But let’s shift gears and talk about something a bit more thrilling, what we call the highly acclaimed “burnout lifestyle” curated by the Base Solutions Group (BSG). This isn’t about pampering; it’s about the adrenaline-pumping joy of driving hard and fast, feeling the tire grip the asphalt, and watching smoke swirl as cars spin and drift. It’s about the exhilarating cheers from enthusiasts, the collective gasp of awe, and that electric mix of excitement and trepidation that grips the onlookers.
It is the good-natured guiding spirit of embracing fun over speed that gives the sport the appreciation it deserves. Sure, there will be high-horsepower in the atmosphere and a high-dollar static car display for all in attendance, but the prevailing feeling is one of appreciation for these fantastical mechanical creatures, and the joy of watching them slide across the prestigious Borrowdale Racecourse and later taking it to other cities like Mutare, Gweru and Kwekwe rotating the culture through the Summer.
This August, car lovers flock together to witness this high-octane spectacle, marvelling at the incredible engineering of the cars and the skill of the drivers. The roar of engines and the smell of burnt rubber create an atmosphere like no other sport. This year, the Selekta Base BlowOut Festival is revving up at Borrowdale Racecourse. It’s set to be an afternoon packed with family fun, including DJs, live music, drift shows, a car exhibition, and a carnival atmosphere, all this on the calendar date marked Monday 12th August 2024, a force to reckon with on the Heroes Public Holiday.
Prepare to be amazed as King of Burnouts Katra and SB Motorsport SA from South Africa perform precise and thrilling drifts. Enjoy live performances from “Kana Ndanyura” hitmaker, Killer T, Bagga, and Young Gemini, and satisfy your cravings at barbecue pop-ups and food stalls. It’s an event that promises excitement and entertainment for all.
Safety is a top priority, especially in a sport as extreme as this. Selekta Base and the Base Solutions Group (BSG) ensures that impact barriers are in place to keep spectators safe from the action. Known for their commitment to safety, Selekta Base always goes the extra mile. Speaking to Elevate News, Corporate Affairs Manager & Spokesperson, Mr. Curtly Gwindi, was pleased to express the rising interest people have shown for Burnouts shared, “This year, Selekta Base has raised the bar. Zimbabweans are really embracing this lifestyle, with more drivers joining the event from as far as Botswana, Zambia and South Africa.” He also noted, “We’ve got an amazing lineup of DJs, including Jason Le Roux, Rax The DJ, and DJ Springer. It’s going to be a celebration of car culture, music, and lifestyle. Exhibitors are welcome to register and showcase their products and services at an affordable fee.”
Don’t miss out on this unforgettable celebration of automotive excitement and fun!
