Midrand, Gauteng, South Africa.
Project Owner/s
Motor racing circuit Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit.
Project Description
The 4.522 km Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit has Federation International de l’Automobile (FIA) Grade 2 certification.
The FIA has accepted final design proposals to upgrade the circuit to Grade 1 status – the highest international standard required to host Formula 1 events.
The proposed FIA Grade 1 upgrade requires no change to the circuit layout and will focus instead on enhancing run-off areas, barrier systems, debris fencing, kerbs and drainage.
Potential Job Creation
Not stated.
Capital Expenditure
The project will cost between $5-million and $10-million.
Planned Start/End Date
The FIA plan approval grants Kyalami a three-year period to complete the intended Grade 1 upgrades.
Work will initially be conducted during periods that will not disrupt events.
Further work will then be conducted pending South Africa’s securing a spot on the F1 calendar and Kyalami being selected as the preferred hosting venue.
