About Ultra Raceway
RACING ROOTS
Brief history
Ultra Raceway was founded way back in the 80’s.
Ultra Raceway has been powering excitement since the 1980s!
What started decades ago at Ultra City, right next to the N1 between Pretoria and Johannesburg, quickly became more than just a racing club — it became a name that racers would remember. That’s where Ultra Raceway got its iconic name and where the passion for high-speed competition first took off.
As the club grew, so did its journey. From Ultra City to Joost Bekker Caravan Park in the 1990s, and finally to our current home at Toutrek Park in Gezina, Pretoria, Ultra Raceway has continued to evolve, thrive, and push the limits for more than 15 years at our current venue.
And then came the game changer.
Originally a dirt track, Ultra Raceway made history in 2014 when the circuit was upgraded to carpet — the very first track of its kind in South Africa. This bold move took racing to the next level and helped establish Ultra Raceway as one of the leading 1/10th scale off-road electric racing clubs in the country.
Today, Ultra Raceway stands for speed, innovation, competition, and community — a place where racing passion comes alive and champions are made.
