🔥 Tyres, Cameras, and Full-Throttle Passion

At the Extreme Festival at Kyalami, we caught up with two behind-the-scenes legends:

🛞 Heinz Boze – Mr. Dunlop Racing Tyres
With 240+ competitors on Dunlops, 2 full pit crews, and up to 350 tires changed in a weekend, it’s nonstop action! But for Hans, Simola Hillclimb is the real highlight:
💬 “It’s all or nothing. No do-overs. It brings out real talent — and we’ve got serious contenders.”

📸 Jeff Latham – Renowned Motorsport Photographer
Covering the action for VW, Jeff’s lens captures more than just speed:
💬 “Everyone sees the race. I shoot the heart of it — behind the scenes, in the pits, the people, the story.”
For Simola? “The smoke, the tension, the crowds — it’s electric. You feel the moment before the hill launch.”

From burning rubber to timeless shots, the road leads to Simola Hillclimb — and they’re both ready.
