Following the announcement that the Turkish Grand Prix will return from 2027, RacingNews365 polled fans on the next circuit they would most like to see rejoin the Formula 1 calendar.
The results revealed a strong desire for racing to return to Africa, with South Africa's Kyalami circuit emerging as the most popular option with almost 20 per cent of the votes.
The legendary venue last hosted a grand prix in 1993 and received FIA Grade 1 approval in June 2025, although F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali stated last May that a race deal remained "a long way off."
Germany's Nurburgring secured second place in the poll, reflecting ongoing affection for the circuit that last appeared on the calendar for the 2020 Eifel Grand Prix.
Sepang International Circuit finished third, with Malaysian fans still hopeful of the venue's return despite financial barriers.
The circuit, which hosted 19 races between 1999 and 2017, was dropped due to rising hosting fees and declining ticket sales, although track officials confirmed in November 2025 that they remain ready to host if the right corporate partnership emerges.
