If you love fast cars, roaring engines and a bit of local pride, you’re in the right spot. Ghana’s racing scene might not be huge, but it’s growing fast and offers plenty of excitement. From street‑race feel to proper circuit action, there’s something for every fan.
Last weekend the Accra Motorsport Club held its annual sprint race at the Mallam Circuit. Local driver Kwame Agyeman took the win by a narrow margin, beating his teammate Nana Osei on the final lap. The race saw a record‑breaking attendance of 3,200 fans, showing that interest in Ghanaian racing is on the rise.
Meanwhile, the Kumasi Rally Challenge drew drivers from across West Africa. The gravel stages were tough, but Ghanaian rookie Ama Badu surprised everyone with a podium finish. Her performance sparked talk of a possible entry into the African Rally Championship next year.
Don’t miss the Ghana Grand Prix Practice Sessions starting on September 15 at the newly upgraded Tema Speedway. The track got fresh asphalt and better safety barriers, making it a top venue for both local and international teams. Tickets go on sale next Monday, and early birds get a 10% discount.
Another highlight is the “Speed Fest” weekend in Takoradi on October 3‑5. It’s a mix of drift showcases, classic car displays and a night‑time karting tournament. If you want to see the best drifters in the region, this is the place to be.
