Facts have begun to emerge about a Soweto SA Grand Prix bid after rumours abounded of such an event in recent weeks.
SA entrepreneur Bobby Hartslief, the man responsible for saving the SA Formula One Grand Prix in the early 1980s, has confirmed he is instructed to put together a bid for a new SA Grand Prix.
“Yes, I have been approached to offer advice and comment on the concept of a Soweto SA Formula One Grand Prix at the Nasrec showgrounds,” Hartslief confirmed on Friday. “A group of influential businesspeople contacted me some years ago with the concept of a huge event, one substantially greater than just three days of practise and qualifying culminating in a two-hour Formula One race.
“The adjacent FNB Stadium successfully hosted the 2010 Fifa World Cup soccer finals and easily caters for 94,000 people. All necessary planning and infrastructure to host a Soweto SA Grand Prix has been considered. Their concept is for a major event, an epic mega prix the proportions and magnitude of the 2010 Soccer World Cup.
