IS SOUTH AFRICA WARMING TO A GRAND PRIX?

Summarized by: Live Sports Direct
 

South Africa is considering a Grand Prix in 2023. The first Grand prix was held in East London in 1934. It was regular in the ‘60s at East Lond, and later at Kyalami. A Grand GP company has been quietly working on the project for the past few years.

The SAGP Bid Company is headed by Warren Scheckter, son of former F1 driver Ian. The bid is understood to have the backing of Warren's uncle Jody. Stefano Domenicali was in South Africa a week ago. He was at Kyalami. Domanicale, Ky alyami owner Toby Venter and the Scheckerters made progress in discussions.

Kyalami was the only track around the world to host a fly-away international motor race. Kyalam is ready to stage a Grand Prix. Johannesburg has always been ready. South Africa is without a doubt ready for a return of Grand prix. It is time. If tickets are priced right and within the rand exchange rate, a South African Grand Prix should be a success.
