Speculations that a Formula 1 race could soon be run on the African continent have intensified after Rwanda's initiative to build a track in its country as soon as possible.
This was confirmed by the president of Rwanda, Paul Kagame at the FIA ceremony in Kigali. Saudi Arabia's plan is to build the track by 2028 or 2029, while Rwanda wants it done even sooner.
"I am pleased to officially announce that Rwanda is making great efforts to bring Formula 1 back to Africa by hosting a Grand Prix race in our country," Kagame said.
A Formula 1 race on the African continent was last held in 1993, for the South African Grand Prix in Kyalami.
