    why can’t someone do the same here?

    Ask the owners of all the courses that don’t host F1 races in Africa.

      Afaik there arecurrently zero courses with the necessary FIA grading of Grade 1 in Africa. Morocco has multiple Grade 2 circuits, and Kyalami used to be Grade 2 but that expired a year ago, so they are currently ungraded.

      That means that in order to be eligible for an F1 race, these courses would need to modernize and undergo an FIA process.

      I personally assume that due to this, any African race we could get would be a street track.
