Electric car championship to expand Africa operations

Formula E - a championship for electric cars - is seeking to expand its operations in Africa, the sport's founder Alejandro Agag has told the BBC.

The series currently has just one race in Africa - with Morocco's Marrakesh hosting one of the season's 14 rounds - but this could be two within the next "12-24 months".

The competition has not featured an African driver since it started in 2014, but there are also plans to change this.

"One of the locations we're talking to is Cape Town," Agag told BBC Sport Africa.

"We have some people there working to see if we can make it happen. There's a great location there around the football stadium, so that would be one of the options we're looking at."

Marrakesh has staged a race since the 2016, the third season of a championship which started in 2014, and the sport is keen to expand further.
