Track of The Month – January 2019
Kyalami, South Africa
January’s Track of the Month is the South African circuit of Kyalami.
A 2.6 mile circuit, Kyalami played host to the South African Grand Prix from 1961 until 1993.
Traditionally a circuit used to open the season, Kyalami’s mix of fast-sweeping bends and tight sequences made it a challenge for drivers, especially whilst lacking the downforce that we are accustomed to in today’s cars.
Come down to The Race Centre this month to see if you’re up to the challenge of Kyalami.
Watch below as we go back in time and take a look at the 1968 Grand Prix at Kyalami
We hope you enjoy this fantastic circuit and the cars we have chosen!
