Denmark's push for a race in Copenhagen needs alternative

Plans for a Danish Formula 1 Grand Prix in Copenhagen need an alternative option.  

Denmark's desire for a Formula 1 race now relies on an alternative to Copenhagen after the company promoting a Grand Prix in the capital was formally closed last month.

Meetings with F1 bosses were said to be positive but the project suffered a set back in September when the Copenhagen mayor wanted it shut down because the city was not willing to fund the race itself.

The company promoting a Danish Grand Prix was deregistered on November 19. 

"The positive vibe around Formula 1 has naturally caused other municipalities to react," said Danish government minister Helge Sander to Autosport.
