PR Newswire (US)
KYALAMI, South Africa, Nov. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The
inaugural GP Masters race, featuring some of the world's greatest
motor racing stars, is to be globally available, live on the
Internet from South Africa through Narrowstep, the TV on the
Internet company, in conjunction with Lixxus (broadband &
voice). The Altech Grand Prix Masters of South Africa race is the
inaugural event for the 2006 series which takes place in Kyalami on
November 11th - 13th. The pay-to-view video site at
http://www.gpmasters.com/ will be available from Thursday, November
10th, showing news, interviews, qualifying and culminating in the
premiere event on Sunday afternoon, broadcast using Narrowstep's
Television Operating System(TM) (TelVOS(TM)). Some of the legendary
names in world motor sport will be racing at the circuit, last used
in 1993, and they'll be reunited in a 'world-first' Grand Prix
Masters event, including world champions Nigel Mansell, Emerson
Fittipaldi, and Alan Jones (Australia), plus world famous stars
such as Rene Arnoux (France), Christian Danner (Germany), Andrea De
Cesaris (Italy), Stefan Johansson (Sweden), Jan Lammers (The
Netherlands), Ricardo Patrese (Italy), and Derek Warwick (UK) to
name just a few. The illustrious Murray Walker has even agreed to
come out of retirement to commentate on the event, promising his
usual mix of dramatic delivery and memorable 'faux-pas.' The cars
are ferocious 600-brake horse power (bhp) cars, capable of over
200mph powered by an 80-degree 3.5-litre V8 Nicholson McLaren
engine. Tests at Silverstone saw Nigel Mansell and Emerson
Fittipaldi hammering in fast laps and needing all their experience
to stay on the track. Viewers can log onto
http://www.gpmasters.com/ and follow the links to the live action,
where you can buy tickets to watch the race live on Sunday for
GBP4.99 (approximately USD$9.00/7.50 Euro), or watch it later 'on

driver interviews and qualifying sessions live in the build up to
