Rwanda overtakes South Africa in race for F1 return
Original: South Africa has chased an F1 return for years but Rwanda just stole the dream
Formula 1 has been absent from Africa since 1993, and South Africa has long been viewed as the frontrunner to bring the sport back, with talk of a race at Kyalami. Now Rwanda has emerged as a serious contender, reportedly overtaking South Africa in discussions over a future African Grand Prix, leaving years of South African lobbying seemingly upstaged by its East African rival.
Why now: Rwanda's bid for an African Grand Prix has gained ground over South Africa's long-running campaign, reigniting debate about where F1 will return on the continent.
