Manage episode 455944161 series 2932050
Rumours are rife that South Africa's iconic Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit could be gearing up to host Formula 1 racing again. (Kyalami hosted its first race in 1961 before it fell off the Formula 1 calendar in 1993, and Africa has not been a host to another race since then. South Africa's Minister of Sport, Arts, and Culture, Gayton McKenzie, met with Formula 1 CEO, Stefano Domenicali, as well as FIA President, Mohammed Ben Sulayem, during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in September 2024. In late October, McKenzie took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to announce that "F1 is coming home soon".
Bringing the beloved sport back to African soil would be no small feat. The event would require considerable effort and co-ordination. So, what will be required to reach FIA Grade 1 accreditation? Lize Mari Doubell, Associate at Webber Wentzel weighs in now.
