It will be the first race of a fresh five-year agreement for Turkey to host grands prix.<\/p>\n<p>Turkey first staged an F1 race in 2005 and was a regular fixture on the calendar until 2012 when it was dropped after no deal could be reached. While attendances were often poor, the Istanbul track provided good races.<\/p>\n<p>The 2010 edition was particularly memorable, with Red Bull pair Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber wiping each other out and paving the way for an epic battle between the McLaren&#8217;s of Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button.<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, Hamilton sealed a record-equalling seventh world championship at the Turkish Grand Prix by winning the race. Valtteri Bottas took victory for Mercedes the last time Turkey staged an F1 race in 2021.<\/p>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Turkey will effectively be a replacement for the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix, which will be held for the last time this year, with a new race in Madrid taking over as the home of the Spanish Grand Prix.<\/p>\n<p>F1 president and CEO Stefano Domenicali said: \u201cWe are delighted to be returning to the incredible and vibrant city of Istanbul from 2027 to thrill all our fans in T\u00fcrkiye and around the world on one of the most exciting and challenging circuits in Formula 1.<\/p>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"ins-related_content dsp-related_content_in_article\">\n<h2>Read More<\/h2>\n<div class=\"related-content-in-body js-view-dom-id-b7a9495792ecd90edf3e8a50079c8979e6e0076893542d0685b370e0e8b22b45\">  Turkish Grand Prix: F1&#8217;s most memorable moments   Hamilton feels \u2018no pressure\u2019 in F1 title battle against Verstappen <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>\u201cAs a city, Istanbul represents a cultural gateway between Europe and Asia, offering a unique blend of history and tradition with a forward-thinking approach to sport, business, and entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to thank His Excellency President Mr. Erdo\u011fan, the Ministry of Youth and Sports, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and the Turkish Automobile Sports Federation for their support in securing Formula 1\u2019s return.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany memorable moments have been made in our sport\u2019s history at Istanbul Park and I\u2019m excited to begin the next chapter of our partnership, giving fans the opportunity to experience even more incredible racing in a truly fantastic location.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"ins-related_content dsp-related_content_in_article_2\">\n<h2>Read More<\/h2>\n<div class=\"related-content-in-body js-view-dom-id-92a71e54486200b3201e642ea5a7d11374b423b1b218c3c42b150ef999edfbd0\">  Horner delighted Red Bull extracted the \u201cmaximum\u201d from F1 Turkish GP   Ferrari to \u2018fully analyse\u2019 what went wrong in Sainz\u2019s slow Turkish GP pit stop <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem added: \u201cFormula 1\u2019s return to T\u00fcrkiye is a powerful reflection of the continued global growth and appeal of our sport, and I am delighted to see the Turkish Grand Prix rejoin the FIA Formula One World Championship calendar.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Istanbul Park is a circuit that holds a special place in Formula 1 history, and its return underlines our shared commitment to expanding the championship in dynamic markets.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block block-echobox\">\n<h2>Subscribe to our F1 Newsletter<\/h2>\n<div class=\"info js-form-wrapper form-wrapper\" data-drupal-selector=\"edit-info\" id=\"edit-info--2\">\n<p>Get the latest F1 news, exclusives, interviews and promotions from the paddock direct to your inbox<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"extra-info js-form-wrapper form-wrapper\" data-drupal-selector=\"edit-legal\" id=\"edit-legal--2\">\n<p>For more information see our Privacy Policy<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;http:\/\/crash.net\/f1\/news\/1093370\/1\/fan-favourite-track-secures-2027-f1-return-turkish-gp-signs-big-new-deal&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/cdn.crash.net\/2026-04\/m284257_2021_turkish_grand_prix-sunday_lat_images.jpg?width=1600&amp;aspect_ratio=16:9&#8243;] Fan-favourite track secures 2027 F1 return as Turkish GP signs big new deal The Turkish Grand Prix will return to the F1 calendar next year.
