Layout: Fictitious (designed by me) – © 2020 AllAlongTheRacetrack
When was the track built?
The circuit has been inaugurated in 1952 and it was 1km long.
Starting from 1960, with the first extension, it became a GP circuit, featuring also F1 cars, although not for titled races.
In the following years with further updates, it has been used as venue for world series of motorsport but only now with a Grade-1 redesign, made by me, it will become a permanent venue for F1 and all other major motorsport series, with grandstands built all around like a massive amphitheatre.
When was its first Grand Prix?
Almost reaching 70 years of service, it has never hosted a titled F1 GP.
It will host both F1 World Title and African Continental races.
What’s the circuit like?
The overall concept respects the original layout, with a significant extension on the west side, creating three long straights and a 7-corner-long sequence of fast “esses”.
The gently banked T1 and T2 will lead to the first real hard braking area at the chicane T3.
The middle sector is characterized by a long sequence of fast bends inspired by the COTA section.
A newly designed long chicane leads to the final sector which has kept the double parallel straights, although significantly longer, with a banked connection at T26.
This circuits suits most of motorsport categories, it allows for plenty of overtaking and offers great views to the fans.
Where is it located?
Few kilometers north of Cape Town, near to all main services
