With each new month, it seems that South Africa’s Formula 1 bid is becoming more of a reality, following an official announcement.
Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture Gayton McKenzie will be announcing South Africa’s Formula One bid steering committee . With the punny committee name aside, this group of handpicked individuals will be announced tomorrow at the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit in Johannesburg and will likely be pivotal over the next several months to secure investment and critical signatures.
Previously, fictional locations in the Eastern Cape and Western Cape have surfaced and have attempted to get the attention of Minister Gayton McKenzie and the yet-to-be-announced committee. The prospect and cost of establishing a completely new track and its surrounding infrastructure is an ambitious task that would likely cost billions of rands but the most realistic choice for the committee would be the Kyalami Grand Prix circuit.
