  • Formula 1 travels to all corners of the global...nearly. They travel to North America, South America, Asia, Australia and Europe. However, the continent of Africa has been missing since 1993. In this video, we have a look at why F1 should return to Africa and where they can host a race on it.
    A special thanks to Sim Dane for collaborating on this project! Be sure to check out his channel, if you haven't already.

      It has more history as it hosted the Swedish GP back in the 70s (I'd rather it be called the Scandinavian GP though), it's more central in Scandinavia, and has better weather so it's the better choice in my eyes. Also I think it would provide pretty good racing, like it did in the 70s

      @sbottono5576 3 роки тому +1

      @@shrimpshrubbery7664 Kyalami won’t host an F1 Grand Prix (for now) and here’s some reasons why:
      1. If a track want’s to host a race in an official FIA competition, it need an FIA grade, this vote decide how secure is gor the highest class (the F1), more higher is the number, more competitions you can host. For host an F1 race you need to be grade 1 track, if you want to host the tests of F1 you need do be grade T1 track, unfortunately, Kyalami is just a grade 2 track, i think because there are some dangers into turn 1.
      But this number can be changed, for example, Turkey in July 2020 was a grade 2 track, but it host an F1 grand prix, the FIA change it in less than one month, so there is a bit of chance that Kyalami can host an F1 official grand prix.
      2. If you go on the list of the grade 1 FIA tracks, you can see that there are some tracks that are grade 1 tracks, but they don’t host an F1 grand prix, that’s because F1 didn’t need to race there. For example, the Chang circuit is a grade 1 track, but F1 don’t race there because it won’t help the F1 marketing, that’s because F1 build tracks in rich places, for example Jeddah.
      But there is a bit but a bit bit of chance that Liberty Media is interested to race there, but, like i said, is very less the possibility.
      That means that F1 can race at Kyalami, but if it happened, it will happened at least in 10 years...
