F1 set for African return with Rwanda race in the early 2030s
A 10-year deal paves the way for Formula 1’s comeback to the African continent after years of waiting.
Formula 1 is preparing to return to Africa, with Rwanda expected to join the calendar in the early 2030s as host of the African Grand Prix. A 10-year agreement has opened the door for the championship to come back to the continent after a long absence.
For F1, the move is a strategic step that strengthens the series’ global reach. Rwanda’s bid fits into the championship’s broader expansion plan and points to a long-term return of racing to Africa.
