A local promoter has been blamed for the lack of a SouthAfricaGP on the F1 2023 calendar.
The chairman of Motorsport South Africa has blamed the local promoter for Kyalami’s absence on the 2023 F1 calendar.
A total of seven parties were involved in the bid including the FIA, F1, Motorsport South Africa , the venue provider, the national government, local government and the local promoter. “The whole issue here is not a fault of the FIA, F1, MSA, or government’s side. It was purely because the local promoter could not deliver. And we now need to replace the local promoter. But I am very confident that we’ll be on the 2024 calendar.”
PlanetF1 reached out to Scheckter for comment but at the time of publication had received no response.before F1 hits the maximum number of races allowed during a season as dictated by the Concorde Agreement. The current iteration came into force in 2021 and it is a sign of how rapidly the sport has grown that when the previous agreement was signed in 2013, there was a total of 19 races on the calendar.
