Today we are talking to you about some great news in the world of Formula 1, with a historic circuit that is up for sale.
The Formula 1 World Championship features a whopping 24 circuits where races are held this season, an impressive number that has never been reached before. The Circus increases the number of races to be held year after yearwith the addition of new tracks, but also the abandonment of some old facilities, which were very popular with the drivers.
It’s really strange to think that, for example, there isn’t a GP in Germany, where there hasn’t been a race since 2020, when an event was held at the Nurburgring, and for a few seasons now, Another runway has also disappeared from the radar, and we are talking about the one in Istanbul. Now, the Istanbul Park facility is “up for sale”, a great opportunity for Formula 1 fans, although not everything is as it seems.
Formula 1, here’s which track is for sale
Formula 1 lovers will have a great opportunity, that is, being able to buy a copy of the Istanbul circuit, which is on sale in Texasin a town called Amarillo. In fact, as specified by the website “Autoeveryeye.it“, it is a track designed for karts, which takes up, in all respects, the shapes of the Istanbul Park in terms of the curves present. There are 19 of them, with a total length of 1.6 km, and it was built in 2012, and hosts the Texas ProKart Challenge races. In 2022 it was sold to the brothers Kyle, Brad e Joe Yuchinskiwho have renovated it properly.
As it turns out, the replica circuit is now on sale at a price of 1.86 million euros on the website “loopnet.it“, a figure that is certainly not insignificant, but which could find some interested investors. The opportunity is truly tempting for those who love Formula 1 and motorsport in general, without forgetting that Istanbul Park was a truly glorious track, which hosted the Turkish GP from 2005 to 2011, and then again in the two-year period 2020-2021.
Second Bernie Ecclestonewho strongly wanted a race in Türkiye and commissioned Hermann Tilke the design work, the Istanbul one was the best track in the world. The endless Turn 8 put the drivers’ physical endurance to the testand it’s a shame that it was decided to do without this facility. The hope is that, one day, we can run again in these parts.
