Absolute chaos on the track.
As you can see - most of the classes are compatible with formulae overseas, which is unlike any other motorsport (karting & dragsters aside) in South Africa. This is why we are able to invite teams from Europe and America and race against them. Hopefully we will see some Australian drivers soon.
