South Africa test looks lively

Sources indicate that McLaren, Benetton, Jordan and Sauber will be joining BAR and Williams
at Kyalami on the 15th.

Ostensibly, they are attempting to find conditions as close as possible to those expected for
the season opener in Melbourne; but the sudden sign up coinsides with the financial issues in
Argentina causing that Grand Prix to be cancelled, and rumours of deadline problems for the
Malaysian Grand Prix...

Is it possible the teams are expecting to be racing at Kyalami, and are checking the scene?
Even if they are not, the fact that all the big players (except Ferrari) have tested there
means that should they return with favourable reports, it must be considered a real
possibility to host the Formula One circus this year!

I read in NSSN that this test was promised to So. Africa to drum up
interest for a race next year if my memory serves me right.
