South Africa's plans to host a Formula One Grand Prix face a setback as the country underestimates the requirements needed to stage the race, leading to a postponement to 2028 or 2029.

South African Formula One fans will have to wait longer for the sport to return to local soil after the country underestimated the requirements needed to stage a grand prix.

Initial hopes of hosting the race in 2027 have been dashed as the plans have now been pushed back, with a focus on a possible race in 2028 or 2029.

The Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit remains the preferred venue for the potential return of Formula One to South Africa, with efforts underway to achieve FIA Grade 1 certification.

The last South African Grand Prix was held in 1993 at Kyalami, where racing legends like Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna showcased their skills in a memorable race.
