India, Oct. 14 -- Formula 1 will return to Africa with a grand prix in Rwanda starting early next decade once a new track has been built southeast of the capital, F1 and the country's president said Tuesday. The announcement of a 10-year-deal to hold an African Grand Prix in Rwanda comes after a campaign by President Paul Kagame to bring F1 to the continent for the first time since 1993. F1 said a purpose-built circuit was expected to be completed "early in the next decade" in Bugesera, about 40km from Kigali. The track will be built near an under-construction airport serving the capital, using hills and dips in the landscape to challenge drivers, F1 said.ap
