Johannesburg (AFP) – “The Grand Prix is definitely coming in 2027,” says South Africa’s sports minister Gayton McKenzie, after the government launches the official bid process for prospective organisers of a future Formula 1 race in the country. The two major cities vying for the sport’s return are Johannesburg and Cape Town. A committee set up by McKenzie will choose the winning bid in the third quarter of the year, a committee member tells AFP.
