Formula One needs to have a grand prix in Africa and the absence of one is wrong, according to the sport's global director of race promotion Chloe Targett-Adams

The continent has not featured on the calendar since the last South African Grand Prix at Kyalami in 1993. Morocco also hosted a round of the world championship at the Casablanca circuit in 1958.

“We've been in talks with possible options for a few years and we're hoping that ultimately we will be able to achieve a race there in the near to midterm,” she added. Targett-Adams said the sport still hoped Vietnam, whose inaugural race has been put on hold, might make its debut eventually. That race has attracted criticism, with some campaigning organisations writing to Hamilton asking him to boycott the race or speak out against reported human rights abuses in the country.“From Formula One's perspective, we choose to engage with partners and we have a framework contractually to set out our expectations on human rights and how we expect to work,” she added.

Yeah right, a grand prix in Africa with MPV's , off-road tires and pothole-spotters just to frustrate Lewis and Sebastian. Then call it the 'african safari.'

Couple of months ago I came across a recommendation about Michaelthomas_2 wealth how he helped investors to earn lots of money with their investments. and I decided to give a trial with the little I have. Now my little has turned into something great which was not my expectation

Joburg is available to host a race at Kyalami.

Trust me Africa will be the centre of business and opportunities in future . So much untapped potential , land , resources people.

MzansiGP could do.
