Did you know?
Kyalami, which is isiZulu for "my home", is indeed regarded as the home of South African motor sport.
Kyalami was a popular Formula One Grand Prix circuit for many years. Although the last Formula One Grand Prix held here was in 1993, Kyalami still hosts international racing events such as the A1 Grand Prix and World Superbike Championship.
The 4.263km aniti-clockwise Kyalami circuit includes 11 turns and is a heady mix of long straights, tricky corners and the infamous mine shaft, which continues to test even the world's best drivers.
Kyalami hosts a variety of domestic racing events, as well as driver training, vehicle testing, exhibitions and corporate events.
In addition to watching motorsport, travellers can also take part in various high-speed activities at Kyalami. Super karts can be rented for 30-minute or 1-hour sessions, for drivers to test their stamina and reflexes around the circuit. Single-seater racing cars can also be hired through Fantastic Racing.
Being only 30 minutes away fom both Johannesburg and Pretoria, Kyalami is central and convenient.
