The announcement came from the mouth of Juan Marin, vice president of the Junta de Andalucía, during the World Travel Market tourism fair, which is being held in London. “We are at number one as a reserve, the moment a Formula 1 World Championship event falls we could enter.” According to Marín, this means that he has the approval of the organizers of the Formula 1 so that the Jerez circuit be the substitute for any race that falls out of the World Cup due to the pandemic, as has been happening repeatedly in the last two championships.
The Formula 1 published its provisional calendar for the 2022 World Cup on October 15. It includes 23 tests, an absolute record in the same season, although several of the tests were accompanied by an asterisk, either because they are still negotiating the contract with the promoter or because the homologation of the route by the company is missing. SON. In the first case there are Ímola, Barcelona, Singapore and Austin. Meanwhile, Miami has yet to receive the OK from the International Federation.
According to Marín, in case any of those circuits fell, Jerez would be the chosen one.
Similarly, during the 2021 season a total of 5 grand prizes were canceled due to the pandemic (Australia, Canada, China, Japan and Singapore). In return, races in Portugal, Turkey, Austria and Qatar were added.
According to Marín, in case of entering the calendar, the circuit would need an investment of between 3 and 5 million euros to adapt it to the demands of the World Cup. The vice president of the Board said that the money would come from public institutions, private investment and European funds.
