Formula One is set to make its first return to the African continent in over thirty years after signing a 10-year agreement with Rwanda. The deal, announced on October 13, 2026, will bring the African Grand Prix back to the region for the first time since 1993.
The new circuit will be located in Bugesera, situated near the capital city of Kigali. Race officials confirmed that the inaugural event is scheduled to take place in the early 2030s.
Does anyone remember the ’93 race? Nostalgia trip or fresh start? Either way, I’m tuning in.
Great news! But let’s hope Rwanda invests in local talent too, not just hosting the race.
I wonder if the logistics will be smooth. Building a circuit in Bugesera sounds ambitious but exciting.
This is huge for African motorsport. Finally, F1 comes home after thirty long years.
