FORMULA One boss Eddie Jordan on Wednesday called for Africa to be put back on the grand prix calendar.
The last race on African soil was the South African Grand Prix in 1993 on the Kyalami circuit and Jordan insists it is time Africa hosted another race.
“We should have and must strive earnestly to have a race in Africa,” he said when asked about the future of the sport outside its traditional European heartland.
Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone also visited Egypt last October to discuss a possible race in that country.
