London Formula 1 Grand Prix Closer to Reality

Two years ago, the Spanish banking group Santander planted the seed that a Formula 1 Grand Prix event could be held on the streets of London. Although it was an ambitious idea and perhaps closer to a flight of fancy than a reality, recent government action may be moving it one step closer to actuality. The government has recently announced a consultation on closed-road motor sport events on mainland Britain, which may open the door to events like the London Grand Prix.

Of course, holding a Grand Prix event on the streets of London is still very far from happening, but Santander continues to move forward with ideas and planning.
