Overview
- The deal was unveiled Friday in Istanbul by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan with F1 chief Stefano Domenicali and FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem.
- Under the agreement, Istanbul Park hosts the Turkish Grand Prix from 2027 through 2031 with TOSFED serving as delivery partner.
- Turkey’s addition shapes the 2027 calendar, pairing with Portimão’s return while Zandvoort exits after 2026 and Barcelona moves into a rotation with Spa to keep the schedule near 24 races.
- TOSFED said preparations for 2027 are underway and cited full government support to stage a large-scale event.
- The comeback follows a 2024 transfer of Istanbul Park’s 30-year operating rights to Can Bilim Egitim Kurumlari A.S., a deal that tasked the new operator with restoring F1.
