The stream of teasers for Project Motor Racing continues: Disguised as a post celebrating V12 engines, Straight4 Studios have sneakily shown the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit.
After first teasing, then revealing the Gillet Vertigo Streiff and Mosler MT900 R to be part of Project Motor Racing's car line-up, developer Straight4 Studios have now shown another track that looks set to join the upcoming sim's selection of venues.
A post on the sim's Twitter profile celebrates V12s, more specifically the Lister Storm GT. The car has been confirmed to be in PMR for a while, so that isn't anything out of the ordinary, right? Not really, but look closer at the second image in the post and you will see another Lister and, also like in the first image, a Saleen S7R.
But they don't appear to be racing anywhere that had been previously shown for Project Motor Racing. It certainly is not Mosport, nor is it Lime Rock Park - both had served as backdrops for screenshots for a few months. Instead, the pit building and ad bridge crossing the track look suspiciously like those at Kyalami.
Previously, before the announcement that the sim would switch to GIANTS Engine as part of the publishing deal with GIANTS Software, Sebring had also been confirmed, and Interlagos was seen in images and even a first gameplay video when the sim was still called GTRevival and being developed on Unreal Engine. Straight4 is developing its own physics engine, however, recently revealed to be called 'Hadron'.
Kyalami would be the first track located east of the Atlantic in Straight4's line-up, then. The circuit is well known for being the long-time home of the Formula One South African Grand Prix, which it hosted from 1967 to 1985, and then again in 1992 and 1993, albeit on a heavily reworked layout.
The track run by F1 greats such as Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna, Nigel Mansell and Michael Schumacher in the early 1990s has since been modified again, and the current circuit formed the base of South Africa's repeated aspirations to return to the F1 calendar, which has not happened yet. The World Endurance Championship was set to run a 6-hour race on the circuit in 2021, but the COVID pandemic put a stop to those plans.

While not a real-life venue many of the cars from the GTR days as confirmed for PMR raced at, Kyalami enjoys a certain popularity among sim racers, thanks to its unique layout with some corners allowing for multiple lines, most prominently the rather wide Crocodiles corner.
