BANGKOK - Thailand is planning a bid to host a Formula One street race in its capital Bangkok in 2028 and will seek Cabinet approval for its proposal next week, a government official said on May 26.
Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, who attended the Monaco Grand Prix at the weekend, will propose a "sustainable F1," government spokesman Jirayu Houngsub said, adding that race officials had responded positively.
The bid proposal and results of a feasibility study will be submitted to the Cabinet on June 4 before proceeding, he said.
No specific details were provided on the sustainability aspect of the plan, but Mr Jirayu said the proposed Bangkok race would be environmentally friendly and aims to attract investment in green technology alongside motor sports.
