For some, it will mark their official debut on South African soil ahead of the start of sales either at the end of the year or early next year.
As before, the ever popular hot lap track driving experience returns, as does the self-driving opportunity on the in-field handling track, the 4×4 experience at the top section of the circuit, plenty of activities ranging from simulators to go-karts, and a drifting showcase.
