Kyalami – a Reflection on the History of the Original Circuit 1961-1987

International motor racing in South Africa had until that time, been held at various circuits around the country, including Killarney (Cape Town), Grand Central (north of Johannesburg) and East London. It was at East London where the SA Grand Prix first received World Championship status. The Kyalami circuit wasn’t even on the cards when, in the mid-1930s, the big Auto Unions came out to South Africa to race at East London and Killarney. Kyalami – A Reflection on the History of the Original Circuit 1961-1987, published by Aquarius Publishing CC – © Virtual Motorpix/Glen Smale But as more and more international teams and drivers began to compete in South African events, so the cost of running the bigger races began to escalate and East London soon www.porscheroadandrace.com found itself unable to make the financial commitment necessary to hold a world championship. One of the big attractions of racing in South Africa was undoubtedly the weather, as international teams and drivers could compete there during the southern hemisphere’s summer months, while Europe and the UK were in the grip of winter. -

Over a period of some twelve years, this model racked up 232 international victories on every continent in the world. This included the World Sportscar Championship, IMSA, Japanese Sportscar Championship, DRM, Interserie, Supercup and Can-Am. No other car of its type was successful for more than one or two seasons at best, but the 956/962 reigned supreme for at www.porscheroadandrace.com least 6-8 years, and was successful at an international level for up to twelve years. This is the story of the works Porsche 962-006. Rothmans Porsche 962C (chassis #006) 1987 Le Mans 24 Hour winner photographed at Porsche Museum in Stuttgart, May 2017 If you speak to any of the Porsche engineers associated with the development of the 956 or the 962, you will be told that these two models are regarded within the racing department as one model. In an interview with Jürgen Barth in 2011, I asked him what the difference between the 956 and 962 meant to them in the race department, and he replied, “No difference, it was only the length of the chassis. For me it [the 956 and 962] is the same thing.” www.porscheroadandrace.com Rothmans Porsche 962C (chassis #006) 1987 Le Mans 24 Hour winner photographed at Porsche Museum in Stuttgart, May 2017 Only ten examples each of the 956 and 962 models were made and retained by the factory for use by the official works teams in period, with a further total of (approximately) 130 units being manufactured for the various privateer teams over a 12-year period. -
