New plans for Formula 1 race in London revealed
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Brand new plans for a grand prix race in Great Britain’s capital of London have been revealed.

The Times reports that plans for a track in the Royal Docks of east London have been drawn up, with Dar and LDN Collective fronting the project.

According to the report, the race could come as early as 2026 in a best-case scenario.

The circuit that has been mapped out would see cars competing down the waterfront along the Royal Albert and Royal Victoria docks, with floating grandstands capable of holding 95,0000 spectators.

The 5.9 km mock track has been compared to the Circuit de Gilles Villeneuve, which hosts the Canadian Grand Prix annually.

Talks have already been held between F1 and organisers, according to the report.

“Once we have planning consent with a fair wind we can build this within 24 months,” Max Farrell, LDN Collective founder told The Times. 

“So really, I think there’s a best-case scenario of having a London Grand Prix here in August 2026. If everyone gets behind it, that would be feasible.”

A grand prix in London was backed by Mayor Sadiq Khan in 2021, however it was met with backlash from environmentalists and some of his peers.

F1 already races annually at the Silverstone Circuit, which has long been the home of the British Grand Prix.

The sport has seen increased interest in potential grand prix hosts on account of it gaining popularity over the last several years.

Cities have been a popular destination for F1 in recent years, with new events added in locations such as Baku, Miami and Jeddah.

This year, F1 will also venture to Las Vegas to race on its famous strip for the first time.

Formula E, an all-electric single-seater category, has a race in London, with the first two years seeing it held at Battersea Park.

However, since 2021, it has raced around the Royal Victora Dock and ExCeL London, the same location as the newly proposed F1 track.
