The race brings together a wide range of competitors and machinery, contributing to the country's continued presence on the international GT racing schedule.

This year’s edition again forms a central part of the Southern African Endurance Series (SAES), the region’s leading endurance championship. Its arrival follows the 5 Hours of Zwartkops held in October, the fifth round of the current campaign.

With the season building steadily across each event, the focus now shifts to Kyalami, which stands as the headline race on the SAES calendar.

A broad and competitive field is set to line up this year, featuring GT3 entries along with Porsche, BMW, Audi, and Mercedes teams, as well as superbikes, karting classes, and the Lotus 7 class.
