I was there with my dad, 12 years old, I remember everyone cheering for Sarel. I liked the mag wheels and unique sound the cars made, it was very satisfying, they looked much faster in real life, really on the edge.
I knew of this track layout, but had only seen Williams testing footage there in 1990. This is the first race I've seen on this short-lived Kyalami layout.
I was -10 back then but this is still better than modern racing ^^ I wish the cars these days weren't so boring (apart from Rally, I went to watch that live as often as I could because I live near the Saarland Rally stages)
To be honest, I do not look at modern motor racing much anymore. I do not relate to the modern motor cars at all. This was the golden age of motorsport and of the automobile.
@@MLC... I wish I would have lived already in the 90s but at least some of these cars are still going. Currently I am helping a friend restore an E30 chassis
I was a youngster back in 1991. Pity those days are gone. But at least we can still play - have some cars from the 70's, 80's and 90's to fuel the passion. I just cannot imagine life with modern cars.
Back when apartheid was a thing... although I believe sport and politics should be separated, but there is a limit on everything. Edit*- This wasn't exactly people who changed the world, or inspired millions, like the F1 drivers did
Yes, sport and politics should be separated, but politicians use sport for leverage. The sanctions only made the country stronger, became very self reliant.
@@mortenfrosthansen84 South Africa started producing it's own oil and fuels at SASOL from coal, built up a steel giant (YSKOR), built up one of the best electricity grids, the same ESKOM that is now ruined, built our own nuclear plant, built our own nuclear weapons, built our own canons, helicopters, missiles, etc, etc, etc. It had the strongest economy in the whole of Africa. The country was never on it's knees, the transition to so called democracy was voluntary. The country is now on it's knees, that I can tell you.

Love it. And a fox body mustang at the back of the field. All the Brilliant and Yellow Page sponsorship was my dad
The two Toyota Supras were another lesser-known touring car of the early 1990s.
