The James McNeillie Circuit was a motor racing circuit in Kumalo, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe.
The circuit was built from 1959 to 1961 in Kumalo Airfield, northeast of Bulawayo and was named after the politician, James McNeillie. The circuit held the Rhodesian Grand Prix in 1961âÂÂ1970, and South African Springbok Championship Series in 1969âÂÂ1971. As there was no dedicated covered seating, sunburns were commonly experienced among its spectators. During the mid-1960s, the Rhodesian Corps of Signals at Brady Barracks, which was located next to the racetrack, utilized it to practise Morse code with Land Rovers. Following Rhodesia's Unilateral Declaration of Independence in November 1965, the country faced fuel shortages caused by international sanctions. This led to petrol rationing, and by 1966, the racetrack was in poor condition due to overgrowth. Subsequently, a number of events were likely cancelled. After the opening of nearby Breedon Everard Raceway in 1970, racing events were transferred to the new circuit, and James McNeillie Circuit was closed in 1971.
