Some of you may have seen this:
http://www.pitpass.com/52205/Porsche-buys-Kyalami "In a shock move the German manufacturer bought circuit, vowing to take racing back to the legendary track which hosted 20 World Championship Grands Prix between 1961 and 1993." |

Wow. Although it's fair to say that the track is a shadow of its former self. nonetheless, very interesting news.

They stole it at that price! R204 Million.
The new circuit is different and not nearly as fast as the old circuit, but is an awesome "drivers" circuit and it is a lot more technical than the old track. |

Still probably a GP track as it is now, certainly the only credible venue in Africa. |
