After the revamp, Kyalami received FIA Grade 2 status meaning “the circuit can host any international race series, except for Formula 1. Kyalami is the only current motor racing facility on the African continent to have been bestowed with such prestigious accreditation.”
I sincerely doubt the money is there to take it to Grade 1 or to host a F1 GP. Would love to see it used for a WEC race though. Even if it’s just the GT classes for a non-championship event or testing session. “The 12-Hours of Kyalami” needs to be a thing!
I’ve maintained for a long time that a Cape Town street circuit would be a perfect fit for a round of the Formula E championship. Certainly a more likely event than F1 in Cape Town.
