It is also an opportunity to showcase our natural tourist sites as backdrops i.e Robben Island, V & A Waterfront, Table Mountain, Signal Hill and of course the Cape Town Stadium.
Q: There are talks of Anthony Hamilton and Bernie Ecclestone getting involved in bringing the Grand Prix to South Africa. What are their roles?
IA: CTGPSA are currently in direct communication with Mr Ecclestone regarding our proposal and he is currently waiting on feedback from us regarding the support from Stakeholders.
Q: Do you think it is financially viable to host a Grand Prix in South Africa?
IA: We have come out of hosting a successful 2010 SWC which left us with infrastructure which we would piggy back from. Thus not reinventing the wheel. Yes, there will be costs involved but CTGPSA strategy is clear, "We are looking at foreign investors to make this a reality."
