LONDON: Formula 1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone said, on Saturday, crowds would flock to watch motor racing if it was staged at Britain’s 2012 Olympic stadium, currently hosting track and field events.
The possibility of motor racing taking place at the stadium is one of four bids being considered by the Legacy Development Corp.
The bid appears to be a long shot, but the 81-year-old billionaire has spoken in the past about his interest in hosting a race in London.
“It’s surprising how many people have come out, it’s good. I’m sure we’d get big crowds,” he said after watching some Olympic events. (Reuters)
