The Durban street circuit is a temporary street circuit, located in Durban, South Africa, which is used for the A1 Grand Prix. A 3.2 kilometre(or 2 mile), 11 corner circuit, the A1 Grand Prix race held on this circuit is international racing's first return to South Africa since the 1993 South African Grand Prix.
Similar to the Circuit de Monaco, the Durban Street Circuit is heavily constrained by the location of the streets, both in what shape the circuit takes, and where the grandstands can be placed. Despite this, seating for 22,000 was able to be constructed. The circuit was a big favourite with drivers and fans. It retained its place on the A1GP calendar for the 2006-2007 season. Rumors claims that a future South African Formula 1 Grand Prix will possibly be raced here. However, there are no official sources at this time that has confirmed any future South African Grand Prix.
