Tensions and expectations are rising in Istanbul regarding the return of the Turkish GP to the F1 calendar, with an official agreement expected within the next few hours
The engines are starting to roar at Istanbul Park. Following yesterday’s sensational rumors, the Turkish circuit—a historic stop for the “circus”—is reportedly closer than ever to welcoming F1 back, starting from 2027.
According to local sources, this “lightning negotiation” could even reach its conclusion later today.
Official Announcement Expected Today
The speed of these negotiations has been remarkable. While Istanbul’s candidacy to become the 25th track on the 2025 calendar gained massive momentum yesterday, Turkish media suggest that the official confirmation could arrive today.
This is no ordinary announcement: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is expected to deliver the news personally. According to reports from Motorsport Turkey: “Based on the statement released today, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s schedule has been announced!”
““Erdoğan will attend the Turkish GP launch event at the Dolmabahçe Palace at 15:00. An official statement regarding the race is expected to be issued during the day. The Turkish GP will be reintroduced TODAY!”
