The 11th edition of the Simola Hillclimb proved to be another victim of the COVID-19 pandemic, having to be postponed twice in the last year. But finally, the iconic hillclimb took place last week in the mountains near Knysna, South Africa. We had a talk with this year’s “King of the Hill”, André Bezuidenhout, who took the win in the single-seater class in last week’s event. Even more, he confirmed his win with a mind-boggling average speed of nearly 200km/h on the twisty mountain roads near Knysna.
