All motoring enthusiasts across South Africa had a sombre feeling towards the news that Kyalami would be auctioned off to the highest bidder, to do as they please with. A track with such rich motoring history, a legacy which included Formula one. The general view was that it would be turned into commercial property development.
I held my breath as the day came, and waited for the inevitable, the auction took place, and soon the motoring world was in a flurry, Porsche SA had bought the track! I was in shock and awe, the track would remain in the motoring world! Porsche SA made it clear they would keep it as a racing track and use it for development opportunities on their cars.
Fast forward a bit and Porsche true to their motoring spirit, held an open day, to signal an invitation to all petrol heads across the country - You are welcome here. Each car club rallied up their troops and attended the day, in the pouring rain. What a day it was, from Supercars of this world, to everyday cars, all were represented. BMWFanatics is no stranger to track days and had a great attendance as well, lifting that motoring spirit and hopefully will be back soon at Kyalami for some serious driving.
Enjoy the fantastic pics and awesome video.
