Donnybrook Raceway, motor racing circuit in Harare, Zimbabwe
Donnybrook Raceway is a racing track in Harare, Zimbabwe, spanning about 2.78 kilometers with eight corners. The facility includes the main circuit, a homologated kart track, and a motocross course to accommodate different types of motorsport competitions.
Donnybrook Raceway was built in 1974 during the final years of colonial rule when Zimbabwe was known as Rhodesia. The first race took place in 1974, replacing the older Marlborough Circuit as the country's primary racing venue.
The raceway is a gathering place for Harare's local racing community, where enthusiasts, drivers, and families come together to share in motorsport. It represents an important venue for Zimbabwe's racing culture, where competition and skill are at the heart of the experience.
The raceway is located in Harare and can be reached via local roads, particularly via Mutare Road into the Manresa suburb. The facility features open spaces with ample room and includes amenities like refreshment stands to support visitors during their time on site.
Graham Hill, a legendary racing driver and three-time Formula One world champion, served as a consultant in designing the track. The entire facility was resurfaced before the 2016 racing season, significantly improving safety and racing conditions.
