Race-proven engineering. Track-tested performance. Championship results.
The Programme
1200hp GT-R R35 “Harumagedon”
At the heart of BB Motorsport’s racing programme is the Nissan GT-R R35 — a 1200+ horsepower machine that has dominated South Africa’s premier hillclimb event. Known as “Harumagedon,” this GT-R is not a showpiece. It is a weapon, engineered for one purpose: to win.
Every component has been tested under race conditions at events like the Simola Hillclimb, where BB Motorsport has proven that their engineering delivers results when it matters most.
Simola Hillclimb
South Africa’s Premier Hillclimb
BB Motorsport is a consistent front-runner at the Simola Hillclimb in Knysna. The narrow, winding 1.9km course rewards precision, power delivery, and driver confidence — all of which depend on the quality of the build underneath.
Our 1200hp GT-R R35 “Harumagedon” delivered a dramatic winning run at the 2018 Simola Hillclimb, cementing BB Motorsport’s reputation as one of South Africa’s leading performance engineering operations.
Platform
The GT-R Advantage
Power Platform
The VR38DETT responds exceptionally well to modification. With upgraded turbos, fuel systems, and MaxxECU management, power levels from 600hp to well over 1200hp are achievable with proven reliability.
AWD Traction
The ATTESA E-TS system distributes power to all four wheels, providing superior traction off the line and through corners. In hillclimb racing, this translates directly to faster times.
Data-Driven
Every run generates data. We use MaxxECU’s advanced logging and telemetry to analyse, refine, and optimise the setup for each event. Performance is not guesswork — it is engineering.
