The doors are not completely closed to the of Turkey of formula one Grand Prix. While the organizers pointed out that they neglected entirely celebrate in 2012, now seems that still harbor hopes that the great circus follow so the Istanbul Park circuit in the future.
The main problem that have been found are the excessive demands of Bernie Ecclestone. So it is said, asks nothing more and nothing less than US $ 26.5 million so that the Grand Prize of Turkey continue forming part of the calendar. This figure almost doubles quota that have been religiously paying so far.
The organizers have refused in round to meet the aspirations of the little dictator. Despite this, they hope to hold talks in the coming months to see if they come to an agreement. That's what Murat Yalcintas, President of the Chamber of Commerce of Istanbul, told Autosport:
This year will be a turning point for the future of the Grand Prize of Turkey. Based on the results of these discussions, the race can continue or not. The two sides have not yielded its official version yet. All I can say is that Mr. Ecclestone insists an agreement of 26.5 million of dollars a year, and the Turkish Government has not positively assessed this proposal. We hope to make a final decision between August and September of 2011.We have to wait a couple of months to know if finally we will continue to enjoy the curve 8 and its famous four vertices. We hope that the small Warhol lowered slightly its claims and that Istanbul Park remains part of formula one. In my opinion is one of the few decent tilkodromos in the calendar.
