The first print run of the large format publication ‘Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit – 60 Years of Memories’ has been sold out. The large-format book, containing more than 500 pages covering the history and memories of the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit, was launched in late 2022 to critical acclaim.
Due to the high international demand for the book, a reprint is currently underway for release in the United Kingdom. SA Motorsport Memories has appointed Hampshire-based Chater’s Motoring Booksellers as the sole international agent for the Kyalami book. “We are extremely proud and honoured that Chater’s, one of the world’s best-known and respected sellers of Automotive books with over 60 years’ experience in the industry, will act as our sole international agent for the Kyalami book” stated Denis Klopper, SA Motorsport Memories Author and Publisher.
The book, which documents the full 60 years of the circuit’s history, including international and local events hosted at Kyalami, contains over 1 500 images and 225 special “Kyalami Memories”. The book will be available through Chater’s in three editions; the Editor’s Collector’s Edition, the Collector’s Standard Edition, and the Standard Edition. The specifications, quantity, and pricing of the three international editions will be announced shortly on the Chater’s website.

SA Motorsport Memories will make available 100 copies of the international Standard Edition for the local market. The Kyalami book has been very well received in South Africa and internationally. Additionally, 50 copies of the limited Publisher’s Edition are still available. Both editions are planned for mid-November distribution, in time for the festive season.
