Talk of them looking to ad another location to the calender. What will it take to get them to come to Jonkers or Helderberg?

An actual accessible DH track with facilities?

Iron Throne in Hartebeespoort. 

Ja. It's about the only place where the media entourage, team busses, mechanic areas, fans, television crew and broadcast trucks won't have to park 26km away as well as being able to get enough runs in per day.

One of the issues is that large sections of the track aren't accessible, which is a big problem for camera platforms and the timing system.

Guys would be surprised what goes into building a passable, safe and acceptable camera platform that an international broadcaster will sign off.

The fan access as well as emergency egress and evacuation avenues also play a huge roll in venues being acceptable. Jonkers would never be considered as the congestion on the road would be insane, never mind accessibility for race runs and team prep.
