The last Grand Prix organized on African soil dates back to 1993, on the Kyalami circuit in South Africa. Thirty years later, the Rwanda could become the new anchor point of the Formula 1 on the continent. Although the exact location of the future circuit has not yet been revealed, the current trend of urban Grands Prix suggests that the city of Kigali could serve as the setting for this prestigious competition. The Rwandan capital would thus offer a unique setting for an event that would combine motorsport and the discovery of a rapidly changing African metropolis.
