Rwanda has succeeded where other nations have failed by signing a 10-year deal to host an African Grand Prix from the early 2030s. The east-central African country managed to put together a single plan with the requisite financial backing and ambition to make the project work, according to BBC Sport.
The new Rwandan circuit is being built in Bugesera, 25 miles south of the capital Kigali. It forms part of a wider development near a new international airport currently under construction, featuring facilities in entertainment, residential, hotels, spas, sports science, and an innovation hub.
The race is likely to be controversial, as Rwanda has previously been accused of sportswashing.
