Tahincioglu said meanwhile that he was hopeful that Turkey would also land a round of the World Rally Championship in 2003. Moscow is set to host a race in 2004, while China, Bahrain and Egypt are also interested. But Turkey faces tough competition from several other countries keen to lure Formula One. Istanbul is apparently the favored location, but the Aegean city of Izmir, the Mediterranean resort of Antalya, and Kirsehir, in central Turkey, have also put in bids.

Turkish auto sports federation chief Mumtaz Tahincioglu said government officials pledged yesterday to designate land to build a racetrack, provide $27 million to help build the track and $13.5 million annually in fees to host the grand prix. ANKARA (AP) – Turkey’s government will back efforts by the country’s auto-racing authorities to host a Formula One race in 2005.
