Turkey Returns to the Formula 1 Calendar for Five Years
Turkey’s return to Formula 1 is not limited to 2027. Under a five-year agreement, Istanbul Park is planned to remain on the Formula 1 calendar for the 2027-2031 seasons. This means Istanbul is once again positioned on the global motorsport map for the long term.
The official 2027 Formula 1 calendar was announced on September 16, 2026. The Istanbul race is included in the calendar subject to FIA circuit homologation.
A Quick Look at the 2027 Formula 1 Calendar
The 2027 FIA Formula 1 World Championship will consist of 24 Grands Prix and 10 Sprint events. The Turkish Grand Prix will take place in the latter part of the season, between Baku and Singapore.
| Date | Grand Prix | City |
|---|---|---|
| September 24-26 | Azerbaijan | Baku |
| October 1-3 | Turkey | Istanbul |
| October 8-10 | Singapore | Singapore |
The Istanbul race is subject to FIA circuit homologation.
Istanbul Park: The Legend of Turn 8
Istanbul Park first joined the Formula 1 calendar in 2005. The 5.33-kilometer circuit is known for its elevation changes, high-speed corners, and particularly its multi-apex Turn 8, which has gained legendary status in the Formula 1 world. The 2027 Turkish Grand Prix will be the 10th Formula 1 Turkish Grand Prix held at Istanbul Park.
However, coming to Istanbul for Formula 1 does not have to be limited to a three-day race weekend.
Turn Your Formula 1 Trip into a Turkish Experience
With the Bosphorus, historic peninsula, exceptional restaurants, and personalized city experiences, Istanbul offers Formula 1 guests the opportunity to combine sports, gastronomy, history, and culture in a single trip. A few days spent in Istanbul before or after the race weekend can become a much more comprehensive journey when combined with destinations such as Cappadocia, Ephesus, Bodrum, and Antalya:
- Istanbul + Cappadocia: Luxury accommodation and private valley excursions
- Istanbul + Ephesus: A history- and culture-focused Aegean itinerary
- Istanbul + Bodrum: Upscale hotels, sea, and gastronomy
- Istanbul + Antalya: Resort accommodation and a Mediterranean experience
