SOUTH AFRICAN GRAND PRIX

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. It drew top drivers from Europe including Bernd Rosemeyer, Richard "Dick" Seaman, and the 1939 winner Luigi Villoresi.
World War II brought an end to the race, but it was revived in 1962 as part of the Formula 1 circuit. It was a popular F1 event, but had to be cancelled many times due to Apartheid. The first South African F1 race was held on December 29, 1962 at the East London track. It was held there again in 1963 and 1965.
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. A total of 23 F1 Grands Prix were held between 1962, and the final event in 1993.
The 1981 event was a victim of the FISA-FOCA war and was run for the FOCA teams only - effectively as a Formula Libre race, since the cars did not comply with the new FISA designated Formula One regulations for that year.
