Rwanda wins race for F1 as Africa returns to Grand Prix calendar after 37 years [VIDEO]

Formula One (F1) will return to Africa for the first time in nearly four decades after announcing a landmark 10-year agreement to stage the African Grand Prix in Rwanda, ending the continent’s long wait to rejoin the world championship calendar.

Agreement The agreement marks F1’s first race on African soil since the 1993 South African Grand Prix at Kyalami and will see the championship compete on every inhabited continent.

While an F1 Grand Prix in Africa will be welcomed, some South African fans will be devastated that the high-octane sport won’t be hosted in South Africa, particularly at the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit in Midrand.
