Durban hosts South African leg of A1 Grand Prix of Nations

An A1 Grand Prix event is a fast, exciting, adrenaline fuelled motorsport weekend in a glamorous and exclusive environment, affordable and accessible to all


A1 Grand Prix is the first opportunity in any area of motorsport for nations to compete on a level playing field. It is a series where technology and innovation are deliberately equalised and performance is determined by human bravery, skill and excellence. Team and driver combine to create their advantage and the winning nation raises its flag in celebration.

A1 Grand Prix has created a new medium for national and international brands and organisations to promote themselves on a global scale. Through the World Cup of Motorsport, they can join forces with their national teams to be part of this unique sporting event.

The World Cup of Motorsport promotes countries and utilises the national patriotism instilled in every person on the planet not only attracting traditional motorsport and sporting fans but exciting anyone who is passionate about their heritage, country and population.

With three days of on-track action
, an A1 Grand Prix event offers a rare opportunity for fans to interact with teams and drivers.

The all-new Durban street circuit that has been built especially for the seventh round of the inaugural A1 Grand Prix series centred on Durban's elegant ocean frontage looks set to provide drama aplenty at the first corner.

Taking in a mix of established world-famous venues, exciting new state-of-the-art facilities and tight twisty street circuits, A1 Grand Prix promises to deliver high-speed action at every turn.
