Kyalami Track

[Furbz]

Anyone know if the new circuit will ever be open to cyclists?

 

i always enjoyed riding the circuit

[mtbDobby]

I truly hope so - perfectly placed on my way home from work for a workout...

The new 94.7 route goes through there this year,so chances are they might be open to it .

Hi Guys,

 

I had a long chat with the GM at a recent Porsche customer day and he basically said "Don't get your hopes up"

 

He was kind enough to explain why and it goes to the fact that the entire circuit, all the property, is at the disposal of the renter for the day - and they are fully booked for the rest of the year too.

 

So looks unlikely I'm afraid.

I've never been invited to a Porsche customer day. 

I've been to a Toyota day, but I guess it's just not the same?

Everyone wants a go on the new track.  Give it a while and eventually they might open it up when the cash flow calms down a bit.

Perhaps if you got a few mates together you could split it say 10 ways. Makes it worth while perhaps.

That's better

We have received an e-mail, stating that their business model does not support ad-hoc cycling, they will have some cycling events there, first one to be held the 1st of October.

 

It is a bummer, good training for afternoons, it is no more.

Revamped Kyalami Grand Prix racetrack receives prestigious certification

Pity that their business model does not support ad-hoc cycling, perhaps someone can ping Mr Venter or even Alain Prost whose done 3 epics to persuade Mr Venter otherwise?

NECRO-POST!!!
 

Anyway, now that I'm done with the witchcraft for the day to resurrect this thread. Has anyone recently attempted to cycle here?

 

I just moved my new apartment which is about a 5 min ride from Kyalami, meaning that this would be an ideal training spot.
