In March 1975, Jody Scheckter won the
South African Grand Prix, thus becoming the second South African
driver to win a Grand Prix. The first win was by Buller Meyer who
won the second South African Grand Prix in 1938. Kyalami was
remodeled in 1988, and again in 1992 when the current pit facility
and AA Kyalami Exhibition and Conference Centre was built. The
complex was purchased by the Automobile Association and Federated
Life through AA Kyalami property investments (Pty) Ltd. In July
1993. AA Racing (Pty) Ltd is responsible for the day to day
running of the complex
