The full circuit is 1142 meters long, with a half circuit option of 560 meters. The circuit is situated 80 km south of Johannesburg and provides an intense technical format to sharpen the skills of all drivers. It consists of 1142 meters of track surface that is an average of 7.85 meters wide, with 9 turns and 2 sweeps, ensuring good racing.

Originally opened for recreational karting purposes, the circuit was extended to a full formula k facility in 1989 due to the demand from karting fraternities who wanted to experience the technical challenges the circuit offered. The circuit was designed by the owner of Berghem circuit in the Netherlands.

AAO Comments:

Vereeniging holds a special place in our portfolio as our first circuit developed fully in-house. What makes this track truly special is how deceptively challenging it is despite having nearly no elevation change, a quality that has made it a favorite among drivers seeking technical racing.

Like Zwartkops, Vereeniging has undergone multiple iterations as we’ve refined our technology and expanded our capabilities. We’re proud to present this latest version as a fully laser-scanned circuit that captures every detail with precision. The most interesting aspect of modeling this track was faithfully replicating the bumps that are infamous on the circuit and are a defining characteristic of the Vereeniging experience. Getting them right was essential to delivering an authentic racing experience in Kart Racing Pro.

We’re confident this updated version will showcase why Vereeniging remains such a beloved venue for drivers across South Africa.
