#F1 | #AfricanGP | #RwandianGP | #F1Vault
We're going back to Africa (in the 2030s)!
Formula 1 returns to Africa! π·πΌ
The African Grand Prix, held in Rwanda, is set to be added to the F1 calendar early in the 2030s.
This marks the first time F1 will host a race in Africa since 1993.
The circuit for the Formula 1 African Grand Prix presented by Visit Rwanda will be known (for now) as "RISE Motordrome"
It will be undulating, banked and have a 10& downwards and 15% upwards slope.

Coooool, la #F1 va faire la promotion d'un rΓ©gime dictatorial qui ne respecte pas les droits humains.
Il n'Γ©tait pas normal que l'Afrique n'ait pas de de #GrandPrix, mais n'Γ©tait il pas possible de trouver meilleur ambassadeur ?
Rwanda β host of the #AfricanGP!

The last F1 race on that continent was at Kyalami in South Africa in 1993.
