If F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone had his way, the French grand prix would move from rural Magny Cours to the capital city Paris.
In the French magazine Autohebdo, the 76-year-old referred to a formula one race in Paris as a longstanding “dream”.
“Paris is the number one tourist destination in the world,” Bernie said.
Autohebdo reports that Disneyland Park Paris, which is about 30kms from the centre of Paris, is a possible venue for a grand prix track.
Current venue Magny-Cours is often referred to as one of the annual calendar’s blandest stops, and Ecclestone has criticised the French government for failing to support the race.
But the Briton said: “I don’t imagine that they will let one of the biggest sporting events of the year disappear.”
