The smell of burning rubber is coming to Durban’s Golden Mile. On Sunday, 10 August, Red Bull Shay’ iMoto takes over Suncoast Casino for its biggest chapter yet. Sixteen of South Africa’s top spinners will go head-to-head in a high-stakes battle for the crown and a place in motorsport history.
A New Coast. A New Story.
Spinning has long been the heartbeat of South African townships. What started in empty parking lots has grown into a national culture — loud, raw, and deeply creative. Now, for the first time, Red Bull Shay’ iMoto brings that energy to KwaZulu-Natal.
And Durban? It’s got its own spin. The city’s spinning scene is shaped by its mix of cultures, coastal setting, and street reputation. It’s always been different. Now it gets to host the biggest spinning event on the calendar.
This year’s 16-driver format brings back fan favourites and past winners. But also features hungry newcomers with nothing to lose. And for Durban locals? It’s a long-awaited chance to battle on home ground.
Every driver brings a unique backstory. Some learned to spin in the shadows of mine dumps, others on beachfront roads. Some are carrying family legacies. Others found their calling in the smoke and chaos of previous Shay’ iMoto events.
More Than Just Smoke
This isn’t just about the loudest engine or the longest slide. Drivers are judged on vehicle control, style, showmanship, and crowd impact. Turning spinning into something closer to performance art.
And the Durban crowd is ready. Old rivalries will reignite. New ones will be born. All with the sea breeze in the air and engines shaking the coast.
Expect tyre smoke, sea spray, and a crowd that knows what this moment means.
