WesBank Raceway, Sportstätte in Südafrika
WesBank Raceway is a motorsport facility in Gauteng that hosts several track types, including an oval track, a dragstrip, a road circuit, and a dirt motorcross track. This versatile venue accommodates different kinds of racing events and serves both professional and amateur drivers.
The facility opened in 2003 on land that was previously a horse racing track called Gosforth Park. Since its creation, it has developed into a well-known motorsport venue that has hosted various racing competitions in the area.
The venue takes its name from a sponsorship deal with a South African company. It serves as a gathering place for motorsport fans from the region who share a passion for racing and cars.
The site is easily accessible by road and located near transport links such as the Germiston railway junction. Visitors should note that the venue becomes busy during major racing events and special festivals throughout the year.
The site was built on the grounds of a former horse racing track, transforming a piece of sports history. This transition is visible today in the diverse use of the land, which now hosts multiple types of motorsport on a single property.
