Today the Kyalami 9 Hour is returning to Johannesburg and MasterDrive will be there to cheer on the teams and thrill VIP clients with hot laps. The team looks forward to playing a role in their first-ever Kyalami 9 Hour while cheering on the competing drivers.
CEO Eugene Herbert says MasterDrive is proud to be a part of this event which spans across the history of motorsport in South Africa. “We look forward to contributing to the event with the hot laps* in MasterDrive’s performance vehicles. When the event returned to Kyalami in 2019 it was a momentous occasion after it returned following a 35-year break. Now in the fourth event since then, MasterDrive will have a presence.
