Formula One is a popular topic on our website, even more so when the article in question is about an SA F1 GP. We have been following this saga since it first broke a few years ago. Unfortunately the event will not take place in 2023. However, we, like many other fans, are ever hopeful that we will get to watch a full field of F1 cars race on local soil. Until then we will enjoy a Formula E race and a round of the 2023 FIA World Rallycross event, both taking place in Cape Town.

Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Roadster

It seems our readers enjoyed reading this article as much as we enjoyed putting it together. It’s not often you get your hands on a Raging Bull of this calibre, especially years after its launch. A fan and friend of Double Apex was very generous and trusting with his LP640 Roadster, as you can read here.
