    2) While I was expecting an Africa song joke somewhere...this was GLORIOUS and provided me some much needed laughs. If it doesn't go viral it's a cruel injustice.

      @sbottono5576 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@shrimpshrubbery7664 Kyalami won’t host an F1 Grand Prix (for now) and here’s some reasons why:
      1. If a track want’s to host a race in an official FIA competition, it need an FIA grade, this vote decide how secure is gor the highest class (the F1), more higher is the number, more competitions you can host. For host an F1 race you need to be grade 1 track, if you want to host the tests of F1 you need do be grade T1 track, unfortunately, Kyalami is just a grade 2 track, i think because there are some dangers into turn 1.
      But this number can be changed, for example, Turkey in July 2020 was a grade 2 track, but it host an F1 grand prix, the FIA change it in less than one month, so there is a bit of chance that Kyalami can host an F1 official grand prix.
      2. If you go on the list of the grade 1 FIA tracks, you can see that there are some tracks that are grade 1 tracks, but they don’t host an F1 grand prix, that’s because F1 didn’t need to race there. For example, the Chang circuit is a grade 1 track, but F1 don’t race there because it won’t help the F1 marketing, that’s because F1 build tracks in rich places, for example Jeddah.
      But there is a bit but a bit bit of chance that Liberty Media is interested to race there, but, like i said, is very less the possibility.
      That means that F1 can race at Kyalami, but if it happened, it will happened at least in 10 years...

    Kyalami is definitely worthwhile, IMHO. Stuff Saudi (if F1 boycotted SA because of their human rights abuses, then Saudi and Russia, at the very least, should absolutely be forgotten). If the FIA are so damned desperate to get 23 races (and why? 21 is more than enough for everyone involved in the teams, I'm sure), then help Kyalami and Morocco get up to snuff. And if the FIA/F1 are genuinely interested in racing for everyone, encouraging people from all backgrounds to get involved in motorsport, then going to Africa is an absolute MUST. Not just a nice pipe dream. Liberty earn more than enough by hiding so much stuff behind pay walls.

      @@acegarcia3719 yeah but the problem is our economy is shitty so we don't have money to fix the kyalami track i don't think. But yes we have a big group of fans that love the sport, and we go to the kyalami track for all the other races and the attendance is always good, so if F1 comes here it would be awesome. And abu dhabi is a shit track which no one enjoys😂

    I don't only think this is the best video you made, it's clearly the most important.

    As a South African, I'm really hoping and feeling quite optimistic that Formula 1 will finally happen at Kyalami
    I mean we hosted the Kyalami 9 Hours successfully last year, WRC is hosting a round in Kenya next year and the fact that we were supposed to host a WEC race next year (hopefully in 2022), I think we are on the FIA's radar in terms of hosting an F1 race and I can't wait for that day to happen
