Formula One World Racing announced today that Africa will return to the F1 calendar for the first time in this century: Rwanda has signed a 10-year agreement to host the Grand Prix from the early 1930s. The last time F1 was on the African continent dates back to 1993. The Kayalami Circuit north of Johannesburg in South Africa hosted F1 racing for more than 20 years. Since then, F1 has been seeking a way back to Africa for a long time. Rwandan President Kagame announced his bid two years ago. He plans to build a dedicated track that meets F1 standards near the newly built international airport in the Bugsella region, about 40 kilometers south of the capital Kigali.
