	South African Grand Prix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The South African Grand Prix was first run as a Grand Prix motor racing handicap race in 1934 at the Prince George Circuit at East London, Eastern Cape Province.
		The first South African F1 race was held on December 29, 1962 at the East London track.
		In 1967, the race was moved to Kyalami, where it would remain as long as the South African Grand Prix was on the official Formula One calendar.

		FURTHER details are emerging about the future of Grand Prix racing in South Africa with the recent announcement by the cellular telephone company Vodacom that it will pour as much as $50m into the sport in the course of the next five years.
		If South Africa does win a place in the calendar it will be at the expense of one of the European venues as the teams are still refusing to do more than 16 races in a season, despite the FIA's wish that the series be extended to 18 or even 20 events.
		The deal between the AASA and Vodacom gives the phone company the naming rights to all South African motorsport championships and the expansion of the racing school at Kyalami in the hope that the country will be able to produce a new champion to follow in the footsteps of Jody Scheckter.
