So
1) That's a relatively fast timetable
2) Could mean we have WEC at Kyalami as soon as next year!
Which would be superb. And the new configuration looks alright enough. "Advice from Charlie Whitning" is still bit worrysome though, as to what extent they add asphalt runoff to ruin the natural terrain. But the - theoretical - video didn't look too bad.
Also, why do they need the opinion of Formula 1 race director specifically? I really, really hope there isn't some distant grand plan to turn it into Grade 1 steriledrome in 5 years time.

The only corner with any significant tarmac run off in the renderings is Turn 1. There is actually not much run off generally because of the terrain and because the site is so built up.
