Didi Bizzarro to re-enact grandfather's iconic stunt at Gas Motorshow 2025
This June, international stuntman Didi Bizzarro will bring a historic car stunt back to South Africa, marking 50 years since his grandfather first performed it at the Rand Show in 1975. The stunt will be a highlight of the Gas Motorshow 2025, taking place in Durban over Father's Day weekend, June 14 to 15. Bizzarro, known for his work in films such as Fast X, John Wick and Red Notice, described the event as a personal milestone. 'To honour my grandfather by bringing this stunt back to South Africa — precisely 50 years later — is something I'll never forget. There's history behind it, but also a challenge: to do it justice with today's precision and showmanship. I want it to be a real Father's Day experience, not just for my family, but for everyone watching.' The motorshow will also feature freestyle motocross displays from riders including Jacques Roema and Monster Energy's Dallen Goldman. Attendees can view a variety of vehicles, ranging from JDM models and classic customs to stanced builds and drag racers. The Sound Off competition will return with internationally ranked judges, and several prominent figures from South Africa's car community will be present. Event hours are 9am to midnight on Saturday and 9am to 11pm on Sunday. Tickets cost between R300 and R1,500, with free entry for children under ten and discounted rates for pensioners. Tickets are available at Webtickets and Pick n Pay outlets nationwide.

In a display never before seen in Africa, Didi will perform a series of individual stunts involving a car, a bike, and a truck. He is the only stuntman in the world capable of executing all three types of vehicular stunts at a single event. Didi will also drive a BMW 325i through a firewall in tribute to a moment in history: a stunt last performed in South Africa by his grandfather 50 years ago at the 1975 Rand Show.
