Where there is cash, there are racing drivers

Former F1 World Champions Emerson Fittipaldi, Jody Scheckter, Nigel Mansell, Keke Rosberg and Alan Jones were among the stars present at the official launch of the Grand Prix Masters Series at the Durban Motor Show in South Africa.

The championship is scheduled to make its first appearance at the Kyalami circuit next November, then hold its first full, six-race season in 2006. As part of the promotion Rene Arnoux is due to drive a car through the streets of central Durban.
