Formula 1 chiefs have abandoned plans to revive the South African Grand Prix.
Three decades have passed since the sport last raced at the Kyalami circuit, sandwiched between Johannesburg and the administrative capital Pretoria. The track is not currently fit to host F1 racing under FIA regulations, but work has been mooted to turn it into a Grade 1 venue.
A return to Africa has been a priority for F1 chiefs as they explore untapped markets to branch out into following the sport's popularity boom. There was plenty of talk that the South Africa race would return this year, but it was absent from the race calendar when it was unveiled last year.
