Formula 1 has launched a new fan‑centric initiative, inviting supporters worldwide to vote for the race they would most like to see added to the 2027 calendar. The competition, announced by Formula1.com, will run until 31 March 2027, with the winning entry receiving a full set of Grand Prix tickets, including hospitality and pit‑lane access. The campaign is part of the sport’s broader effort to engage fans and build excitement ahead of the next season’s launch.
Participants can submit their preferred race location through the official Formula 1 website, where each entry will be judged on criteria such as track heritage, fan experience, and logistical feasibility. The winning venue will be announced on 1 April 2027, and the prize‑winning team will receive a full ticket package, including a VIP hospitality suite, a pit‑lane pass, and a signed driver’s jacket. The initiative is expected to generate significant buzz, as fans will have the opportunity to shape the future of the sport while enjoying an unforgettable race experience.
While the competition is still in its early stages, Formula 1 has already confirmed that the 2027 calendar will feature 23 races, up from the current 22. The addition of a new venue will likely be a high‑profile circuit, possibly in a market that has shown strong growth in motorsport interest. The fan‑voted race will be announced in the first half of 2027, giving teams and organizers ample time to prepare for the event. Formula 1 has stated that the new race will be scheduled for the middle of the season, ensuring maximum attendance and media coverage.
For Indian fans, the competition is a unique chance to win a front‑row seat to a world‑class event. The tickets can be redeemed in India, with the official FanCode platform providing live streaming and commentary in Hindi and English. Indian viewers can also watch the voting process live on the Formula 1 YouTube channel, where the organisers will host a Q&A session with team principals and drivers. The campaign is expected to boost engagement across social media, with the hashtag #F1Vote2027 trending on Twitter and Instagram.
