F1 the pinnacle of motorsport only has one black driver, Why? Is this a reflection of talent or ability? Motor racing is elitist at its core coupled with access issues like the prohibitive costs and other man-made barriers it is nigh impossible for black people to get a look in, well NOT ANYMORE thanks to Formula 'A'. Africans can now enjoy race craft, pure skill and talent on display at every Gra
nd Prix, it is indeed Africa's time! Our aim is not just to entertain through this spectacle but to provide a viable and much needed outlet for the abundant talent going to waste due to lack of opportunity or a stage to perform. Lewis Hamilton (the current & now 3time F1 champion) is not a fluke or freak of nature there are many Lewis’ among the black population across the globe. Formula Africa is an African Racing Championship Series with individual drivers representing their respective nations, it allows participation by any African wherever they are in the world. A partnership and collaboration of a top Formula One (F1) team and the biggest motorsport business in Europe and their Africa partner – Formula A Limited. The single seater championship with similarities to F1 will be launched officially in a glitzy ceremony in one of Africa's finest cities in the first quarter of 2016 with the first race thereafter.
