The SRO E-Sport GT Series finale for both the Pro and Silver competitions will take place at virtual Kyalami Circuit later this month following a social media poll.

The South African venue will see the championship-deciding round play out on Assetto Corsa Competizione on June 21.

Kyalami won the right to stage the finale after beating the likes of Bathurst, Suzuka and WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca to the most amount of votes in the public poll.

It will bring down the curtain down on the SRO E-Sport GT Series season which began in April and has held rounds at Silverstone, Spa, the Nürburgring and Barcelona.

Kyalami returned to the international sports car racing limelight last year when it hosted the Intercontinental GT Challenge Powered by Pirelli season-ending round.

The occasion marked the return of the famous Kyalami 9 Hour for the first time in 37 years.

Louis Deletraz’s SRO E-Sport GT Series victory at Barcelona put the Porsche 911 GT3 R driver into Kyalami with the championship lead in a hotly contested Pro series.

The entry list for the final round of the season is expected to be released soon.
