Jan.26 – A solution to the notable absence of an African GP may be emerging in the shape of Zanzibar – an archipelago off the coast of the African mainland.

It is believed that both Liberty Media and the FIA are united when it comes to acknowledging that the sport needs a race in Africa.

Last year, F1 came close to a deal to revive the old South African GP at Kyalami – but it fell through in the final stages.

FIA president Mohammed ben Sulayem, however, told motorsport-magazin.com earlier this month: « We have very good contacts in Africa and more attention should be focused on Africa. »

And now, Italy’s La Gazzetta dello Sport said the new circuit project for Zanzibar is « dreaming of a future in F1 » and has the involvement of former F1 driver Giancarlo Fisichella.

« The first concrete step towards construction was taken in September 2022, when a government body on the African island gave its approval. »

And in November of last year, the land for the track was put into the hands of project investors, who have engaged Fisichella as a technical consultant.

However, correspondent Marco Bruckner admits that finishing the circuit and gaining FIA approval « is anything but a simple task ».

« The laying of the first stone is not scheduled until 2025, with the opening of the first part of the circuit only coming in 2027, » he explained.

« It is difficult to imagine that the track will obtain the necessary certifications before the end of the decade, » said Bruckner.
