Kyalami 9-Hour Race Meeting - 50th Anniversary November 2008
Historic Motorsport: The spirit of Kyalami's 9-hour, one of the most evocative international endurance races of the 1960s and '70s, returned to the South African track during November 2007 and was a resounding success with an entry list of over 100 fabulous historic cars. Intended as a taster for the important milestone event to be held in 2008, the organisers now confidently predict a huge interest both from competitors and spectators alike for the 50th Anniversary event scheduled for 22 November 2008.
Parkers are proud to be appointed Travel Partners with this evocative and historic event. As a team we have a special and long running interest in motorsport, and are thrilled at the prospect of being involved with the special '9-hour' Anniversary at Kyalami. This first and foremost celebrates that great original Kyalami 9-hour - one of SA motorsport's greatest legends.
