A new Porsche book focusing on the brand’s incredible success at the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit over the years is now available to order. 60 Years of Porsche Racing at Kyalami covers the epic brand’s significant competition history at South Africa’s premier racetrack.
A Porsche 550 RS won the circuit’s opening 9 Hour race in 1961. Its successors not only dominated that race ever since, but the Kyalami Porsche story spreads far further too. 60 Years of Porsche Racing celebrates the Porsche cars, engines and drivers that raced throughout the Circuit’s great 60-year history. The book covers all the 9 Hour Porsches, so many of them winners, sports cars, 944 Turbo Cup and others, and even Formula 1 successes at Kyalami. Right through to the most recent international race last year.
