    Report: South African Formula 1 Abandoned Due To Political Barriers

    RacingNews365.com dropped quite the bombshell this morning with a report claiming that plans to revive a South African Grand Prix at Kyalami have been abandoned.

    The events’ hopes were boosted when 777 (a sports investment company in Miami) got on board but apparently, a decision has been made to abandon plans for a South African GP in the near future due to political reasons.

    According to sources, the decision was taken because South Africa has aligned closely with Russia.

    F1 would not comment on the rumours, but the decision will likely provide Spa-Francorchamps a reprieve and see the Belgian Grand Prix remain on the calendar for at least another year.

    South Africa’s governance and its alignment with President Putin’s regime have proven to be an unexpected roadblock despite terms close to being finalised between 777 and F1.

    The publication continues to state that a venue hire had been agreed upon with Kyalami renting out its facilities to 777 but unfortunately, a formal signature was not forthcoming.

    A South African GP has therefore been deemed untenable in the near future, signalling a reprieve for Spa.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
