Chappies open for Argus race

Co race director Dave Bellairs announced that Chapman's Peak would be open on race day only from 06:00 to 18:00, following lengthy negotiations with Western Cape premier Lynn Brown, the Cape Town municipality and toll road concessionaire Entilini.

The actual race will feature a detour along Boyes Drive to avoid road construction along the beach side road. This change has meant three sharp corners on the down run to Kalk Bay, creating a few challenges for the organisers.

"We have organised extra marshals, straw bales and there is an escape road on the first corner," said Bellairs.
