The first print run of the large format publication ‘Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit – 60 Years of

Memories’ has been sold out. The large-format book, containing more than 500 pages

covering the history and memories of the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit, was launched in late

2022 to critical acclaim.


Due to the high international demand for the book, a reprint is currently underway for

release in the United Kingdom. SA Motorsport Memories has appointed Hampshire-based

Chater’s Motoring Booksellers as the sole international agent for the Kyalami book. “We are

extremely proud and honoured that Chater’s, one of the world’s best-known and respected

sellers of Automotive books with over 60 years’ experience in the industry, will act as our

sole international agent for the Kyalami book” stated Denis Klopper, SA Motorsport

Memories Author and Publisher.


The book, which documents the full 60 years of the circuit’s history, including international

and local events hosted at Kyalami, contains over 1 500 images and 225 special “Kyalami

Memories”. The book will be available through Chater’s in three editions; the Editor’s

Collector’s Edition, the Collector’s Standard Edition, and the Standard Edition. The

specifications, quantity, and pricing of the three international editions will be announced

shortly on the Chater’s website.
