Karting is a pure form of motorsport. We want to witness karting from grass root level. We want people to understand what the sport is about.
This is an opportunity for everyone who wants to race. I want them to know that they have the chance to go further, even participate in Formula 1 if they do well. The sky is the limit,” said Marius Swanepoel, one of the circuit owners at Formula-K.
“We want the public to see how exciting this sport is and educate more people about karting. We built the circuit because we want to bring karting to South Africa for the public to come and enjoy. We have a passion for racing, so we would love to share the excitement with the people of Benoni or anyone who wants to come and enjoy with us,” he added.
