So far 45 000 tickets have been sold for the 3 days, but with masses of school kids expected to arrive by the bus load on friday, the goal of 100 000 people over the 3 days is a definate possibility!

Took a walk around the edge of the circuit last nite and i must say that it is looking good. There is a fast and narrow stretch that goes past the Suncoast Casino on the boulevard and that, the final stretch before the main straight, will make the racing very interesting!


Lets hope we have a hot sunny Durban day, just like we have today!

Thanks for the info! Wish I was there!!

Are there any fast corners incorperated in the layout?
