F1, Rwanda announce creation of African Grand Prix

Rwanda will host Africa's first Formula One Grand Prix since 1993 in "the early 2030s" after the circuit announced a decade-long deal with the country on Tuesday. The East African nation has been chasing a Grand Prix race for years, having already used football, basketball and other sports to enhance its image and attract investment. Human rights campaigners Amnesty International ⁠accused Formula One ​of offering Rwanda a "sportswashing prize".
