The insider sources that haven’t been detailed have also mentioned that the historic circuit will include a 5-year contract with Formula 1 and DHL which means that if it makes a return next season, will mark its 3 decade hiatus.

This is still all unconfirmed and no official comment has been made by Kyalami management but after the positive affirmation of F1 head honcho Stefano Domenicali visiting the track not too long ago, we can see some truth in this – although the validity of the Twitter account above is also questionable. Circuit representatives remain hopeful at hosting the event although have confirmed with us that no deal has been signed yet.

Apart from a few small additions and improvements to the track, the Kyalami circuit ticks most of the boxes the FIA require for a Grand Prix event.

F1 Paddock Insider on Twitter has also mentioned that an official announcement can be expected this week considering we are approaching the time of year where the Formula 1 calendar for next season is being finalised. The account in question further details that tickets are likely going to cost around R5 000 which equates to €300. This is approximately the same amount paid for a weekend pass at European circuits on the calendar although the vague rumour doesn’t divulge any other details.
