Youthstream and MSA (Motorsport South Africa) have signed a five year agreement starting from 2008 until 2012, for the running of the FIM Grand Prix of South Africa, to be held at Alkmaar Raceway, near Nelspruit.
Nelspruit is 30 kilometres away from one of the entrance gates to the Kruger Park; there is an International Airport at Kruger Park, which means that the bikes can be freighted directly from OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg to Nelspruit. This of course also means that officials and teams can either fly from Johannesburg to Nelspruit directly, or for those who want to drive there, it is about a two and a half hour drive. There are several daily flights from Johannesburg to Nelspruit. With Nelspruit being situated so close to the Kruger Park, there are many hotels and accommodation will not be a problem.
‰ÛÏI want to thank MSA, and especially its Managing Director, Mrs. Beaulah Schoeman, for their investment, will and valuable support in stabilizing the FIM Motocross World Championship in South Africa.‰Û
