The race gets the name Grand Prix of Africa. It takes place near the city Kigali. Workers build a new track there. The company of Alexander Wurz plans the track. It fits well into nature. The track uses the hills in the area.
A precise date is not clear yet. The first race starts at the start of the next 10 years. This means around the year 2030. Many people feel happy about this. The famous driver Lewis Hamilton likes the plan too. He loves the country Rwanda very much.
Rwanda wants more fame. The country wants to get more tourists. Many new jobs grow there. But some people criticize the plan. Human rights defenders say: The government in Rwanda is very strict. Opponents of the government often face bad treatment.
