Poll Should F1 head to Scandinavia to race?

For sure. Sweden hosts WRC, why not F1?

 

[Mezzer]

Yes, Mr Ecclestone may soon move on to a home in Germany.

I 'd at that.

For sure. Sweden hosts WRC, why not F1?

I don't think there's much of a demand for a F1 race in Sweden right now, despite Ericsson driving a Caterham. They've been away for so long, there's no solid fanbase. Besides, no adequate circuits, so it would be hugely expensive.

Much more F1 following in Finland (naturally, and we too host WRC, btw) and perhaps now in Denmark, after Magnussens first succesful race. Same circuit problem there of course.

Finland would by far be the most logical place to host a Nordic GP and the planned circuit I mentioned is also within reasonable distance from St. Petersbough. So Russian fans would come there too. Just like Finnish fans would have gone to St. Petersbourgh GP, if that had become reality instead of Sochi.

I always wondered about a midweek night race in July in Finland, without the lights etc.

Will never happen.

I too would like to see something similar .

 

[PeeJay]

I love the idea of an evening race without the need for lights. I would make the trip.

No. It does not make economic sense, neither for Ecclestone nor one of the Scandinavian countries.
Although I would like to see a race being held in Scandinavia.

May be Norway would like to invest some of it's oil money in to a GP? Has there ever been a Norwegian F1 driver?

 

[Plutus]

No but there is a Norwegian racing driver in GP2. Pal Varhaug. And Henrik Furuseth who is in the U.S. F2000 National Championship.

What's happening with Anderstorp these days?

After all it was a great little track and it can lay claim to being the stage of some of the most historical wins in F1, namely the Tyrrell six-wheeler's hour of triumph and the Brabham "fancar" BT46B

Not mention the epic 1977 edition with Laffite storming through from 11th to overtake one car after the other and score Ligier's first win.
