about the virtual kyalami 9 hour event
2023 marks the first year the Official Virtual Kyalami 9 hour event will be open to International competitors. Up to 100 contestants can sign up to the division Qualifiers of which only the fastest 40 drivers will qualify into the main series of four 1-hour races.
about the virtual kyalami 9 hour event
One significant difference in 2023 compared to previous years lies in the event duration. The ongoing electricity supply struggle in South Africa means that running one continuous 9 hour race is simply not viable. Drivers, admins and broadcast crews will inevitably be without electricity at some point during the race due to load shedding schedules. For the international drivers feel free to read up on the term “Load Shedding” for a better understanding of the situation. To facilitate participants who would be affected, we have opted to run four 60 minute races at carefully selected time intervals. Drivers will be afforded 2 “drop rounds”, meaning that only your 2 best results will count towards your overall standings.
