From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1981 South African Grand Prix was a Formula One non-championship race held on February 7, 1981 at Kyalami.

This race was not part of the World Championship due to the dispute of the FISA-FOCA war.

Although not a part of the Championship in 1981, the South African Grand Prix saw a good entry of high-caliber drivers and cars, and was won by Carlos Reutemann in a Williams.
