Cape Town Grand Prix

Cape Town Grand Prix SA (Pty) Ltd (CTGPSA) is a black-owned promoter established in 2007 to bring the FIA Formula One World Championship to a proposed street circuit in Cape Town’s Green Point Sport Tourism Precinct. Its public bid, launched in January 2011, is described by the company as the longest-standing proposal for a Cape Town street race. The organisation’s work centres on developing its race concept, track plans and case for hosting a world-class motorsport event in South Africa.

CTGPSA presents the proposed Grand Prix as a platform for tourism growth, local business opportunities, job creation, community development and skills transfer. It highlights Cape Town’s coastal setting, visitor infrastructure, international accessibility and experience hosting major events as advantages for a potential race. The vision also includes promoting South Africa’s culture and scenery to a global audience, while supporting motorsport innovation and talent development. Through its website, the company shares information about its concept, the bid’s history and milestones, and the proposed location, and invites enquiries from people interested in the project. The Grand Prix remains a bid and future vision, rather than an event confirmed in the supplied information.
