 8W - When? - South African Drivers Championship
The Temporada concept only became obsolete in the seventies when South America, South Africa and Australia/New Zealand all stepped down to F5000, F Atlantic or touring cars for their major driver series, whereas Argentina, Brazil, South Africa, later followed by Japan and Australia, got their own F1 GP.
The core of the new-style South African Gold Star Championship was formed by the December and January "Temporada" events that specifically ran to F1 regulations - instead of the almost-F1 rules which restricted the local runners to 4-cylinder engines, usually the Alfa Romeo engine taken from the Giulietta, the Ford 105E or Coventry's Climax FPF.
Going back a couple of decades and the Temporada heydays, the South American and later the South African seasons ran through for the remainder of the year, and usually the major local runners equipped themselves with the best GP machinery they could get their hands on.
