Every day there are new rumours about the 2020 calendar. Because of the corona pandemic, it's a different year than usual. On Wednesday there was the rumour that FOM is looking at a 'double header' in Asia, namely on the circuit in Malaysia and in Vietnam.
Istanbul Park, Turkey
Motorsport Week reports that Istanbul Park is in talks with Formula 1 about a possible Grand Prix. It would mean another return of a former circuit on the calendar. Between 2005 and 2011 Formula 1 races were held on the circuit in Turkey.
For some time now Turkey wants to be back on the calendar and because of COVID-19 this long cherished wish would be fulfilled at least once. Officially the calendar counts at this moment thirteen races which all take place in Europe. FOM would like to go to at least fifteen races.
