Gennep, Netherlands (09 October 2026):

Tickets for the inaugural Michelin 24H KYALAMI are now officially on sale, giving motorsport fans the opportunity to be part of a historic first for international endurance racing in South Africa.

 

From 8 to 10 January 2027, the Michelin 24H SERIES will make its debut on African soil at the iconic Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit. The event will mark the first international 24-hour endurance race in South Africa, bringing a new chapter of endurance racing to one of the country's most celebrated motorsport venues.

 

International GT and touring car teams will take on the challenge of racing continuously through day and night, battling for 24 hours around the demanding Kyalami circuit.

 

Three days of international endurance racing

The action begins on Friday 8 January, with free practice, qualifying and night practice sessions as teams prepare for the challenge ahead. Fans will have their first opportunity to see the international field in action and experience the atmosphere building around the circuit.

 

Friday evening will also feature a pit walk and driver autograph session, while Saturday offers fans the opportunity to experience the starting grid up close before the race begins. Both experiences are available as separate ticket add-ons.

 

On Saturday 9 January, attention turns to the main event as the teams line up for the start of the Michelin 24H KYALAMI. Once the race gets underway, competitors will battle through the afternoon, into the night and through Sunday morning, with the chequered flag falling on Sunday 10 January.

 

With 24 hours of continuous racing, fans can experience everything from the excitement of the race start and the atmosphere of night racing to the final battles for position as the finish approaches. Away from the track, a lively Fan Village will offer plenty to see and do throughout the weekend, making the Michelin 24H KYALAMI an experience that goes beyond the racing itself.

 

Ticket options for every motorsport fan

A range of ticket options is available, allowing fans to choose how they want to experience the race weekend.

 

Fan Village tickets provide access to the Fan Village and general spectator areas around the circuit. Fans can choose between Friday admission, Saturday and Sunday admission, Sunday-only access or a full weekend ticket covering all three days.

 

For those who prefer to watch the action from the stands, Fan Village + Grandstand tickets offer the same general access alongside grandstand access. These tickets are available for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, or the full weekend, with limited availability.

The venue will remain open throughout the night, allowing fans with Saturday and Sunday access to experience every hour of the race, from the afternoon start to the chequered flag on Sunday.

 

Two additional experiences are also available to eligible ticket holders, subject to availability:

- Friday Pit Walk & Autograph Session: Get closer to the teams and race cars with a walk through the pit lane, including a dedicated driver autograph session.

- Saturday Grid Walk: Step onto the starting grid before the race begins and experience the final preparations surrounded by the cars and teams.
 

Both experiences can be purchased as separate ticket add-ons.

 

Beyond the initial ticket offering, several additional options will become available in the coming weeks. For spectators looking for a premium race weekend, Hospitality packages will go on sale on Friday 16 October, offering an exclusive way to enjoy the event with friends, colleagues or guests.

 

Camping options will also be introduced, allowing fans to stay close to the action throughout the weekend. Further experiences, including Club and Sunset packages and a dedicated Car-Bar area, will be announced soon. Full details, availability and booking information will be shared through the official Michelin 24H SERIES channels.

 

The first participating teams have already been announced through the official Michelin 24H SERIES social media channels, with further entries set to be revealed in the coming weeks. With preparations gathering pace, fans can now secure their tickets and look forward to three days of international endurance racing at Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit.
