Red Bull Shay’ iMoto Brings Spinning Culture to Durban

Durban’s motor-loving community, get ready! Red Bull Shay’ iMoto is coming to town for the first time ever, and it’s bringing the heat to our coastal streets.

On Sunday, 10 August 2025, Suncoast Casino will become the ultimate playground for some of South Africa’s most talented spinners as the Red Bull Shay’ iMoto competition makes its KwaZulu-Natal debut.

This isn’t just motorsport, it’s a movement.

From the Townships to the Coastline

Spinning has long been a part of township life. Born from creativity, community and rebellion, it’s become one of the country’s most expressive and explosive car cultures. Over time, this underground phenomenon has evolved into a recognised performance sport—where car control meets showmanship, and every drift tells a story.

Now, for the first time, that story takes centre stage in Durban.

Durban’s Time to Shine

Red Bull Shay’ iMoto has always been about more than speed. It’s about style, skill, crowd connection, and car control. And Durban is the perfect setting to bring this energy to life. From beachfront promenades to buzzing street corners, the city has its own spinning vibe and on 10 August, we get to see it amplified on a national stage.

Expect 16 top drivers ,some returning legends, some fearless newcomers, facing off in a high-intensity, head-to-head format. Among them are hometown heroes ready to represent KZN with pride, alongside icons from across the country.

A New Kind of Arena

The Suncoast Casino location promises a unique fusion of Durban’s laid-back lifestyle and the gritty, urban adrenaline of spinning. Picture this: tyres screeching under the coastal sun, engines roaring against the sound of crashing waves, and a crowd vibing with every slide and smoke trail.

This is more than an event, it’s a cultural moment. And Durban, with its rhythm, diversity, and community spirit, is the perfect host.
