African Grand Prix

[Foxy82]

So (in the early 2030's) F1 will return to Africa for the first time since 1993.

Visit Rwanda has signed a 10-year deal to bring the sport back to the continent, when the brand new track is completed.

I wondered where that £700,000,000 went!

When I've been to Africa, all the cars have been VW beetles, or MK2 Cortina's, held together with gaffa tape, driving on dust-track roads
And the buses kill more people than any other cause of death
Watching everyday driving in Africa is far more exciting than anything F1 can offer.

South Africa is particularly dangerous these days.

Nonsense, it's perfectly safe.

As long as you don't stray off the beaten track.

Agree.
I’ve been golfing there for 3-4 weeks every February since 2018

My mates wife is South African and when they go to Cape Town they say it’s lovely

I suppose it’s like going to Cornwall and saying the UK is dangerous because someone got shot in Croydon

Is visiting Rwanda a bit like going to Gran Canaria?

I was there 6 months ago. Like any city it has it's nice bits and it's no go areas. I like it.

London doesn't have any no go areas.
