adminBMC vice-chairperson Zane Shah said this in an interview yesterday.
According to Shah cars will be grouped into four categories which are sports cars, customised cars, bakkie or pick-ups and vintage or classic cars.
The sports car category will involve the two-door or convertible cars while the customised group will be having those vehicles with carbon fibre lights, pimped rides, mag wheels and spoilers on the boot and underneath.
In the bakkie or pick-up group, Shah said its pick-up trucks while the vintage or classic group will have those cars from the 1970s and beyond.
Shah also revealed that this year the public has been accorded the privilege to choose the winner in all the categories unlike in the past when judges had the sole right to decide the winners.
“This year we are giving the public the right to choose the winner through a voting process. What the public will actually do is to write the name of their favourite car on a piece of paper and place it in a ballot box. We are not involving judges because they can be biased. After all it is the people’s show and they are part of the competition,” said Shah.
Another competition lined up on the same day is the sound off where a car with the loudest sound will emerge the winner. In this competition cars are required to place sub hoofers on the cars.
A special measuring gadget called Sound Pressure Level (SPL) will be used to measure the sound and the hoofer that records the loudest sound will be declared the winner.
Competitors from Gweru, Kwekwe and Botswana are expected to take part in the sound-off competition.
