OMODA South Africa made a remarkable impact as the official vehicle partner of the prestigious Hollywoodbets Durban July in KwaZulu-Natal over the weekend. The brand captured the attention of the event's glamorous attendees with its futuristically designed stands and uniquely styled vehicles. Race 2 of South Africa’s premier horseracing event, a tradition dating back to 1897, took place at Greyville Racecourse in Durban on the first Saturday of July. This year, the 1400-metre race was named the “OMODA MR 96 Handicap” and was won by DIANI just after midday. The Hollywoodbets Durban July is renowned not just for its horse racing but also for its status as a fashion and entertainment extravaganza. This alignment with high fashion and style made OMODA the perfect partner for the event. High-profile guests arrived in stunning attire, and several spectacular fashion shows ran throughout the day. “OMODA’s avant-garde design philosophy, which blends minimalism and futurism, places a strong emphasis on fashion and style. This made OMODA the ideal official vehicle partner for the Hollywoodbets Durban July, allowing us to connect directly with our growing audience,” said Shannon Gahagan, National Brand and Marketing Manager for OMODA & JAECOO. At the event, OMODA showcased the strikingly styled C5, now available in a competitively priced Style specification, named to reflect the fresh fashion sense of the OMODA O-CLUB, the brand’s exclusive fan community. The new C9 flagship, set to launch soon in South Africa, also made its debut. This model features a coupe-like shape and is equipped with high-end technology, similar to the popular C5. OMODA's purpose-built stands at the Hollywoodbets Durban July drew inspiration from the C5 and C9, featuring futuristic styling and advanced technology. Celebrity visitors such as Mohale Motaung and Boity Thulo were among those captivated by the high-resolution screens, LED furniture, and OMODA’s remarkable robot dog, which amazed onlookers with its lifelike canine mannerisms.
