Rwanda leads Formula 1’s return to Africa after three decades

Rwanda will become the third African country to host a Formula 1 World Championship race, following Morocco, which staged a one-off Grand Prix in 1958, and South Africa, a regular fixture on the calendar for decades.

Share: Formula 1 will return to Africa for the first time in more than three decades after Rwanda secured a 10-year agreement to host the sport’s African Grand Prix in the early 2030s.

The announcement marks a significant step towards bringing the world’s premier motor racing championship back to the continent, with the inaugural race planned for a purpose-built circuit in Bugesera, about 40km south of the capital, Kigali.
