Rwanda in talks with Formula 1 to host Grand Prix race in 2030
Rwanda is in advanced talks with Formula 1 to host a Grand Prix race in 2030, which would mark the sport's return to Africa for the first time since 1993. The country plans to build a permanent circuit near Kigali, and an official announcement is expected soon. Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali and driver Lewis Hamilton have supported the move, and Rwanda's President Paul Kagame has been instrumental in the bid.
