Set to take over Suncoast Casino, Hotels and Entertainment, this adrenaline-fueled event celebrates the raw artistry and precision of South Africa’s iconic spinning culture.
What is Red Bull Shay’ iMoto?
More than just motorsport, Red Bull Shay’ iMoto is a cultural phenomenon born in the streets of Mzansi’s townships. Over the years, spinning has evolved into a competitive sport that blends skill, performance, and showmanship.
The 2026 edition brings together the country’s top 16 spinners in a fierce elimination-style championship. Each driver gets 2 minutes and 30 seconds to dominate a brutal obstacle course—while keeping their car in continuous spin.
Expect jaw-dropping action as drivers:
Every move is judged on control, creativity, style, and crowd reaction, making each run a full-throttle performance.
Precision Meets Performance Art
What sets Red Bull Shay’ iMoto apart is its unique judging system. Four expert judges score each run—but the crowd plays a decisive role. Fans vote in real-time using LED wristbands, turning every cheer into a scoring factor.
This interactive format transforms the event into a high-energy experience where spectators become part of the competition.
Over two intense hours of elimination rounds, only one spinner will rise above the rest to claim the championship title. Whether it’s a defending legend or a rising star, the battle promises edge-of-your-seat excitement.
