More than three decades have passed over the last time in one formula engines, calm down on the runway of Africa, South Africa is in an attempt to organize the new Grand Prix and re -championship to the continent.

The competition is to host the high octane scene between two tracks: the street circuit in Cape Town and the least historical but historical Kileami racing path outside Johannesburg.

The island is looking at an attempt to return the Motorsport’s Premier event to Africa.

How is the proposed path determined?

A member of the committee, MlimAndlela Ndamase, told Agence France -Presse that a committee established by South African Sports Minister Geton McKinsey would choose the winning offer in the third quarter of the year.

McKenzi is confident of South Africa’s chances. “The grand prize will definitely come in 2027, there is no doubt,” he said in early February.

“Whether it is Cape Town or Joburg, we do not care as long as the grand prize race will come to South Africa.”

The difficult Kyalami circle-which is about 30 kilometers (20 miles) outside Johannesburg and where the path was drawn with the huge and colored South African flag-he once hosted nail races and legendary drivers.

When did the last F1 ranked in Africa?

The last grand prize race was held on African territory in 1993, that is, a year before the first democratic elections for South Africa to end the apartheid. It was won by Frenchman Alan Prost in Williams.

What was the reaction to the F1 offer in South Africa?

South Africa can try to host the F1 to rely on the support of the world champion seven times Luis Hamilton, who has long called for the African Grand Prix.

“We cannot add races to other sites and continue to ignore Africa,” Hamilton said last August.

“This sport is” going to every continent. “This sport.

“Return to South Africa,” he told AFP.

What is the F1 legacy in South Africa?

Tikh said that this sport lived some “historical moments” in the country, including a threatened strike led by Austrian driver Nikki Lauda in 1982 against a “super license” that restricts contractual freedom.

South Africa is also proud of the continent’s only world champion, Judy Shuker, Ferrari in 1979.

Is the South Africa F1 race to be viable?

The establishment of a race on the continent will not require exclusion of other places as the F1 calendar is always expanding. Next season is seven Grands Prix Awards more than 2009, for example.

Simon Chadoyk, a professor of sport and geopolitical economy at the Business College in Paris, said the high regulatory costs in the sky and hosting fees will not be an obstacle.

He said: “Even if the races are not commercially, for some countries and their supporters, this will not matter because it is a strategic reward.”

He said that China, for example, “has long been adopting a sporting infrastructure for African countries in exchange for reaching its natural resources.”

The Kyalami race course in Johannesburg has been adopted as a second degree, which is just a lower level than that of the F1 race and will require some work to host an event.

An alternative circle will compete to keep the prestigious race to prove the streets of Cape Town, which recently occupied the “best city in the world” by Time Ote magazine.

On his way around the stadium that was built for the 2010 Men’s FIFA FIFA World Cup under the symbolic mountain of the ocean, the road has already hosted the e -formula race in 2023.

Does South Africa have a continental competitor?

Egshan Amali, CEO of Cape Town, said that the F1 Street circuit in the city was “outperforming Monaco.”

However, the real battle may be less among the two competing cities than against Rwanda, whose president, Paul Kagami, attended the Grand Prix in Singapore in September to meet the Ruling Authority of Sports in FIA and F1 Liberty Media, Chadoyk said.

The country in Central Africa is already sponsored by Arsenal and Paris Saint -Germain for football giants and a partner in the American Professional League.

“Rwanda at the Pole site,” said Chadwick.

Morocco has also occupied the ambitions of hosting the F1 race for a long time.

However, there is nothing to prevent two GPS from keeping the continent, where the South African Sports Minister asks: “Why when it comes to Africa, we are treated as we can get only one?”

Although Rwanda F1’s offer can be hindered by his involvement in the conflict in the Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. Calls have already escalated to withdraw the World Bicycle Championship, planned for Kagali in September.
