Kyalami was dropped by WSBK after 2002 Dave will know his name. He was a South African and quite good iirc Brett MacLeod. http://motorsportmemorial.org/focus.php?db=ms&n=2166 |

Sounds similar to Craig Jones' accident at Brands. Maybe they (the WSBK) were forced to drop it because of the proposed building works there? |

There were plans to turn it into a karting track in the early 00s, weren't there? Then some new owners came in and thankfully nixed them, and the racing came back. |

Apologies for being unable to find a link on the Guardian's website. |

Another one of those bold "it's going to happen tomorrow" stories. So I'd say it's likely even though Honda have already denied they're planning on leaving before This would be another big story for racing |

I would lose all my respect for Honda if that is true, they where at least successful in motogp so don't see why they should leave there. |

Honda are withdrawing from the American Superbike Championship next year, prehaps this story has got confused with the MotoGP rumours? Ducati have also withdrawn from the British Superbike Championship. |
