South Africa is one of only 12 nations to host a round of the inaugural A1 GP series, which started with the A1 Grand Prix of Nations Great Britain in September, and the coastal city of Durban in the province of KwaZulu-Natal will be the venue for the only street race in this unique series that pits teams from 25 nations against each other.

"We have set the prices at affordable levels to allow a wide cross section of South Africans to enjoy Durban's first ever major international motor race.
