Honestly,I hope it does. Idk if they should hold it. Would have preferred Botswana,but,world championship is world championship. Otherwise this just feels like the NBA,where it's a world championship but all they do is stay at one place. So, hopefully it works out! Kinda hyped tbh.
I live in Rwanda and have for the past 9 years, I have been a fan of f1 for about 3 years and thought of this exact topic from time to time if there is going to be an f1 race in Rwanda it will have to be near the new airport as none of the streets here are capable of hosting an f1 race and I don't think they ever will. They will have to build a brand new track and at that point they might as well just improve Kyalami to a grade 1 track and host an African Grand Prix there
Yeah I definitely think the airport one makes the most sense (not claiming that F1 ever makes sense but if it did, that's where you'd put a track). If there could only be 1 race in Africa, would you prefer it to be where you live or to travel down to South Africa?
Which country you know is bad? And what the best thing have you find exist in Rwanda not existing in other countries that you don't mention? Can you compare the good against the bad and clarify the balance?
Im Rwandan. We build things pretty quick and efficiently if we plan far ahead. The meeting is probably for a race in the far flung future. Rwanda's been trying to be a sporting center for the region for a while now, spearheading African NBA, biking and football efforts. I think we can do it.
Don't know about South Africa though. With their rolling blackouts and it being the most crime affected place on earth it's not really a place I'd want to go to. Rwanda is much safer in that respect.
Knowing it from GT sims, I'd looove to see Kyalami in F1. It's such a cool track. I'm really starting to get angry at Stefano Domenicale though. Blocks Andretti, disregards Kyalami, brings on another street circus in Las Vegas. Almost makes me wish we still had Ecclestone in charge :D
@@MrVsGarage Looking forward to the Brabham course, if you do a couple of notable teams not on the current grid, the complete snake logo would be pretty cool as a track I reckon!
actually realistic, you can get into the country, they treat people the same way as in the Middle East and a lot of tracks in the calendar are in the Middle East, lovely idea
So they are willing to consider Rwadna, a country that barely has enough money to even pay their own citizens but also at the same time not consider re-adding the Malaysian grand prix (Sepang International Circuit) that it literally funded by a multi billion dollar Oil giant PETRONAS 🤦
A while ago someone pointed out that the earnings of Malaysian citizens today are comparable to Mexican citizens. The difference being one country hosts an F1 race and the other doesn't, for some reason.
I mean, with limited calendar spots and a growing interest in hosting a race I can only assume that the price for hosting a gp has increased in the last few years. And if without a big crowd to pay the bill buying tickets, the option that remains is the government (or Petronas) pays for it... I have a hunch they're not too keen on this one, so it might take a while until we have Malaysia back
Safety. Rwanda is the safest country in Africa. One of the cleanest and safest in the world. I’ve watched many videos of foreigners men and women. Especially women talk about how they can walk at 3 AM in the streets without ever fearing for their lives or their belongings. Another thing I’ve heard about Rwanda is the very low corruption, every foreign investment that was done there was accomplished on time with all the terms and conditions well respected. You might not be familiar with Africa but that is almost impossible anywhere else, that also includes many western nations now. We’ve seen these last Olympics in France. The lack of mortals insulting Christians with LGBT last supper bs, the river “La seine” that they failed to clean which made athletes sick, the lack of A/C and good food where athletes stayed. How many veterans and homeless people lives under the tunnels of Las Vegas while y’all send billions of dollars to Izrael in the support of a gen@cide? What about Ukraine? How many dead Ukrainian men do y’all need?
I'm glad that they're seriously looking into their options on the continent, but as a South African, my bias would be to have F1 return here😂All the best to Rwanda though.🌍👏
Rwanda's construction strategies focus heavily on expanding infrastructure on the outskirts of the city, which could potentially lead to the F1 stadium being built outside of the main urban area. This approach could be smart for both city expansion and creating more tourist attractions. A balanced development strategy might help boost tourism while also managing urban growth efficiently. plus it's important to consider that all the areas mentioned in the video are lowlands prone to flooding, with soil too soft for proper tarmac roads.
As a Rwandese 🇷🇼, Kigali would be really hard for it to happen in the city. Only in Bugesera a district with a new big international Airport. Plus Rwanda is the next big thing on the planet
What would you think that Rwanda would be the next big thing in the world while we're still in 3rd world countries We must be realist and not lie to ourselves
Maybe you could start a series on the channel taking random countries from around the world and scouting for possible locations to host theoretical F1 races. Go into more detail as to how the logistics would work, look at existing tracks and then design your own. Just an idea...
The proposed circuit through the Amahoro Stadium would be such an amazing thing to see happen. Not sure what would be the best idea for the pit stop location though.
Kigali Rwanda we ready to host F1 circuit here in Rwanda🇷🇼🇷🇼🇷🇼 but my proposal to the truck to be built is that one for Bugesera to dispatch development means in all areas of the country. For kigali it would start looking like truck in Monaco and a reminder that Kigali has high land slopes
It would be pretty easy to get Kyalami to grade 1, it was even discussed during lockdown as a replacement track. The problem is F1 is probably asking them for $50mil per race and no one in South Africa wants to pay that. I don't think Kyalami ever made that much money
@@MrVsGarage I don’t get why circuits don’t just get a big name brand to sponsor everything. Like why not just **BIG COMPANY** Grand Prix, like the Caesars Palace GP or the Chevrolet GP.

The land next to convention Centre is part of a military camp for presidential Guard Unit so I guess it wont be available. the best bet is on the land next to the airport.
if they do a race in rwanda i really hope they do a purpose built permanent circuit because the novelty of street circuits is really starting to wear off. they'd probably have to do a tonne of work to make an appropriate street track so i reckon they should just start from scratch and try to make the best possible circuit. if they do this, they definitely are going to have to be very open about its sustainability features and how close it is to being able to function as net zero if they want to seem serious about their environmental goals. there's very little excuse for a brand new purpose built track to not meet their aims
That was only because they were held in Italy and Germany, which already had Grands Prix. They don't even do that anymore, those secondary races are now named after the region they're in (Emilia Romagna GP, Eifel GP, etc). So the chances of a Rwandan Grand Prix that doesn't actually take place in Rwanda are zero IMO.
@@F1Krazy I don't know if it was because the name-giving country wanted to have a GP but did not have a track, or if it was because of that second GP thing... Anyway, there could be a Rwanda GP held in South Africa? It seems that nowadays the only thing that decides what would and what would not happen is money, so when Rwanda wants to spend the money on promoting a GP but not on building a track it may be a thing. (actually I find it horrible that a country like Rwanda, which we as western countries were supposed to financially support not long ago, would now spend money on a GP instead of their inhabitant's wellbeing)
Honestly, IF you follow the road on the west outside the stadium and skip that squiggly bbit on the right, you could bulid "we have Circuit de la Sarthe [the old layout] at home" just paint one house white for nostalgia factor
All your idea design are perfect but will be good if we have something unique something close to Rwanda culture like if you see convention centre it’s like out old house fashion call it nyakatsi 👍👍
I like the 2nd one but i would make a few changes that would basically follow the corner ideology from Interlagos I would make T3 more open to make it feel like T3 from Interlagos and i would move the twisty bit from the 3rd to the 2nd sector I would also split the 3rd sector into 2 satisfying medium speed corners that would work nicely together that would end the lap instead of that long left hander
I think the most logical decision would be bringing back the South African GP, especially in a historical ground like Kyalami. Most F1 fans would love that reintroduction, just like Zandvoort in 2021. The track needs to be upgraded to grade 1 of course but it's probably more doable than making an entire new track. And South Africa is one of the wealthiest countries in Africa so they definetly can invest in the GP. Morocco could also make a comeback in Marrakech or Casablanca again maybe. God, even a Egypt GP could be something achievable if they want to go for something new. Instead, FIA just said: "Look, a country with an authoritarian dictatorship regime that is totally not using this GP as sportswashing and will probably have economical prejudice after investing in this race. Dude, we're so in!"
@@mezykin,lol am Rwandan but do you think western media can talk about positivity of an african countries,just visit Rwanda u'll see truly Rwanda and that man u've said is a dictator what he did for this country
I feel like the announcement of the meeting about a GP was purely to get in the media as South Africa had an announcement the week prior. Hosting a Gala and a GP are 2 very different things
it is also known to have risen from ashes to a miraculous prosperous journey since 2000 continuously up to now, poverty has decreased a lot since then, life expectancy also increased a lot, economy increasing 7% and more, if minimumaly 6% every year, the country is among the cleanest in the world and safest etc...
Honestly the design for number 2 is probably my favourite. I love how zandvort looks and feels to drive on sims so another zandvort style track would be amazing to see although I think nr 1 is most likeley what they'll go for. Anyway love the content and keepit up 😄
I live in Rwanda I'm a big fan of F1 we can't wait to have it in Kigali You are most welcome I like your proposal talking about near Bugesera airport it may be great thank you .
Great research! 👏 It seems you're quite familiar with Rwanda. While your list of potential locations is impressive, have you considered Gahanga in Kigali? It might be an ideal spot to build new roads from the ground🤞
First of all you don't know Rwanda and Where ever you have suggested that they put the tracks , those places already have buldings built in and the second in Rwanda it wasn't a civil war, but it was Genocide Against Tustsi that hapenned 1994 so be our guest if you want to know more about the country and the other thing i can tell is that Rwanda and it's capital kigali is the cleanest and safest country in Africa and as a formula 1 fan we will be excited to host one thanks
A track around the convention center would be an interesting one thats probably the most beautiful part of the city really green,the stadium one i don't think there is enough space its very residential and crowded and the airport one would be much cheaper and easier to build
It’ll be so funny if this comes true because there’s numerous other tracks dropped from the calendar for reasons that can be overcome much more easily than the act of getting a circuit in Rwanda that’s F1 ready
Morocco have better chance to get this GP if they are willing to pay what FIA wants, we have a 2 Grade 2 Tracks, we did host eformula before in one of them , or a rework of the old Casablanca street race , a lot of potentials, Morocco have capability to host a lot tourists ready to go , high class hotels , airport ,safe , and very close to europe
Bangladeshi 🇧🇩 Engineering student here. Read about Zipline operating in Rwanda 🇷🇼 in 2018, via IEEE Spectrum, their drone delivery system by their engineers improvising logistics in the country very efficiently. I was thinking if Rwanda approached Formula E instead of F1; contract would've been comparatively much easier to secure as FE mainly races on street circuits. Even if the street ain't that great, Formula E cars are adaptable in many aspects. FE was already racing in South Africa 🇿🇦 in 2023 and Morocco 🇲🇦 just two years back. Just a suggestion.
Most of the places you showed are serious hills, can't see an F1 car going on a 45 degree hill, but bugesera is possible, it's what we have close to flat.
People hate on Rwanda but don’t actually understand that it’s a very prosperous country, especially for African standards, it’s a tech hub. The only real issues I can see are the government, which is semi-autocratic, and the fact that, well - where the hell is there space for a track in Rwanda, including all the necessary amenities for an F1 race?? I mean, I know there’s the street track and the airport but Rwanda is a tiny country with a big population, and it’s tough to see how they could manage to get enough space. However, a Rwanda GP would be very cool!
@@_Mandolorianin terms of GDP per African countries, Rwanda is one of the highest and is also growing faster than nearly all African countries. It still, however, lags behind essentially all other continents. That’s basically what I mean
@decktechsandspecs its growing faster than any country (I think in the world) but they are far from being on top african countries in GDP. Their growth is high but their starting point was very very low as one of the poorest nations in the world. Poverty still reaches more than half of population. Rwanda isn't just the Capital city and the image govern wants to show off. I would say they have a lot of places to invest money before wasting in a racing venue
Well Rwanda wasn’t the first country I’d answer with given the question “which African country could you see hosting a F1 GP?”, it isn’t the last. The main thing with Kyalami coming back is that the race would probably have to be run have in the pitch black do to all the loadshedding a going on.

60% of the size fo The Netherlands and 75% of the population? Rwanda is much more densely populated than I thought then!
Its an african shthole obviously its gonna be populated
Can you mention the abandoned proyect of the Colombian Grand Prix?
The stadium track would not work that whole area is considered a sport zone and Zaria court is being built over that entire place
I think the most logical decision would be bringing back the South African GP, especially in a historical ground like Kyalami. Most F1 fans would love that reintroduction, just like Zandvoort in 2021. The track needs to be upgraded to grade 1 of course but it's probably more doable than making an entire new track. And South Africa is one of the wealthiest countries in Africa so they definetly can invest in the GP. Morocco could also make a comeback in Marrakech or Casablanca again maybe. God, even a Egypt GP could be something achievable if they want to go for something new.
Instead, FIA just said: "Look, a country with an authoritarian dictatorship regime that is totally not using this GP as sportswashing and will probably have economical prejudice after investing in this race. Dude, we're so in!"
Morocco and Egypt would be awesome
@@mezykin,lol am Rwandan but do you think western media can talk about positivity of an african countries,just visit Rwanda u'll see truly Rwanda and that man u've said is a dictator what he did for this country
@@manzicox6249 western media is so shit that the Brits thought they could fly out their asylum seekers and just dump them in Rwanda
This is video is interesting from the beginning to the end!
I feel like the announcement of the meeting about a GP was purely to get in the media as South Africa had an announcement the week prior. Hosting a Gala and a GP are 2 very different things
As a Rwanda even though everything is really difficult according to the finance but in Bugesera that's the only suitable place to construct a track
it is also known to have risen from ashes to a miraculous prosperous journey since 2000 continuously up to now, poverty has decreased a lot since then, life expectancy also increased a lot, economy increasing 7% and more, if minimumaly 6% every year, the country is among the cleanest in the world and safest etc...
This is really interesting view. Good job.
Honestly the design for number 2 is probably my favourite. I love how zandvort looks and feels to drive on sims so another zandvort style track would be amazing to see although I think nr 1 is most likeley what they'll go for. Anyway love the content and keepit up 😄
I live in Rwanda I'm a big fan of F1 we can't wait to have it in Kigali You are most welcome
I like your proposal talking about near Bugesera airport it may be great thank you .
Great research! 👏
It seems you're quite familiar with Rwanda.
While your list of potential locations is impressive, have you considered Gahanga in Kigali? It might be an ideal spot to build new roads from the ground🤞
Rwanda is very efficient at building projects. Whatever site is chosen, the track will be ready in no time
The Bugesera one is perfect.
First of all you don't know Rwanda and Where ever you have suggested that they put the tracks , those places already have buldings built in
and the second in Rwanda it wasn't a civil war, but it was Genocide Against Tustsi that hapenned 1994 so be our guest if you want to know more about the country and the other thing i can tell is that Rwanda and it's capital kigali is the cleanest and safest country in Africa
and as a formula 1 fan we will be excited to host one thanks
A track around the convention center would be an interesting one thats probably the most beautiful part of the city really green,the stadium one i don't think there is enough space its very residential and crowded and the airport one would be much cheaper and easier to build
It’ll be so funny if this comes true because there’s numerous other tracks dropped from the calendar for reasons that can be overcome much more easily than the act of getting a circuit in Rwanda that’s F1 ready
am from rwanda and i think theres plan to build a new track not use a street one
the place to be built on is near the new bugesera airport
Morocco have better chance to get this GP if they are willing to pay what FIA wants, we have a 2 Grade 2 Tracks, we did host eformula before in one of them , or a rework of the old Casablanca street race , a lot of potentials, Morocco have capability to host a lot tourists ready to go , high class hotels , airport ,safe , and very close to europe
Am I the only one that sees old Hokenheim layout in the stadium track, the fast straights cut by a chicane feel very Hokenheim forest section.
Really like the 2nd track ❤
Would love to see someone make it in like Asetto or smth
We can’t wait for sure 🇷🇼🇷🇼🇷🇼🇷🇼
as long as the government doesn't raise taxes let's have a F1 race soon
Hy great video, bugesera by the Airport is the one 🏎
It aint happening , The level of Humps would never let F1 take place in Rwanda
Yoo ngakabuza we got this .. This is Rwanda
Bangladeshi 🇧🇩 Engineering student here.
Read about Zipline operating in Rwanda 🇷🇼 in 2018, via IEEE Spectrum, their drone delivery system by their engineers improvising logistics in the country very efficiently.
I was thinking if Rwanda approached Formula E instead of F1; contract would've been comparatively much easier to secure as FE mainly races on street circuits. Even if the street ain't that great, Formula E cars are adaptable in many aspects. FE was already racing in South Africa 🇿🇦 in 2023 and Morocco 🇲🇦 just two years back.
Just a suggestion.
Lmaooo, I push for a Race in Antartica, make it a TRULY global circus !
P.s. amazing video, the editing was on point!
Finding accomodation in Rwanda is not the easiest
Most of the places you showed are serious hills, can't see an F1 car going on a 45 degree hill, but bugesera is possible, it's what we have close to flat.
8:27
that feels eerily like long beach
I would like to see a video where you show us who Is the most average driver in F1 history
Ive got to say. You are a genius
That third track is pretty much the street version of old Hockenheim
Wakanda forever
Mr V, I would listen to you narrate the back of a shampoo bottle.
People hate on Rwanda but don’t actually understand that it’s a very prosperous country, especially for African standards, it’s a tech hub. The only real issues I can see are the government, which is semi-autocratic, and the fact that, well - where the hell is there space for a track in Rwanda, including all the necessary amenities for an F1 race?? I mean, I know there’s the street track and the airport but Rwanda is a tiny country with a big population, and it’s tough to see how they could manage to get enough space. However, a Rwanda GP would be very cool!
what do you mean by african standards?
@@_Mandolorianin terms of GDP per African countries, Rwanda is one of the highest and is also growing faster than nearly all African countries. It still, however, lags behind essentially all other continents. That’s basically what I mean
People can say all they like about the government, we already race in plenty of questionable areas
@@user-qp4cx6wc5e Doesn't mean we should adding even more to the list instead of making it shorter.
@decktechsandspecs its growing faster than any country (I think in the world) but they are far from being on top african countries in GDP. Their growth is high but their starting point was very very low as one of the poorest nations in the world. Poverty still reaches more than half of population. Rwanda isn't just the Capital city and the image govern wants to show off. I would say they have a lot of places to invest money before wasting in a racing venue
Well Rwanda wasn’t the first country I’d answer with given the question “which African country could you see hosting a F1 GP?”, it isn’t the last. The main thing with Kyalami coming back is that the race would probably have to be run have in the pitch black do to all the loadshedding a going on.
You can't convince me that we are not in illuminati
