Cape Town organizers have unveiled new details for their street race proposal.

The South African government is nearing a decision on which bid to support as it aims to bring Formula 1 back to the country.

A return to a refurbished Kyalami, which last hosted F1 in 1993, and a proposed street race around Cape Town's waterfront appear to be the two main contenders to receive public backing, with a deadline for the bid committee's decision set for the end of April.

Cape Town's bid is hoping the central, urban location of its Tilke-designed 5.7km circuit, snaking around the Green Point harbour and utilising the facilities around the DHL Stadium built for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, will help it get across the line.

Is Kyalami too narrow for the land ships we call modern F1 cars? That'd be the only objection I could think of, otherwise I'd prefer it over another street track.

The first sector is quite wide and has that long straight. It doesn't look too bad to me.

They couldn’t even host Formula E without the power going out. There’s a serious credibility issue with a SA bid.
