Formula 1 is coming home to Africa: Rwanda signs a 10-year Grand Prix deal

Formula 1 will race in Africa for the first time in more than three decades, under a 10-year agreement with Rwanda announced on 13 October. The African Grand Prix is planned from 2030 at a new circuit in Bugesera, near Kigali's new international airport, designed around the hills of the site — with the venue set to host conferences and other events the rest of the year, bringing work and visitors well beyond race weekends.
