Formula 1 is bringing back one of its most popular venues, as the Turkish Grand Prix is officially set to return to the calendar in 2027.

The race will once again take place at Istanbul Park, a circuit known for its challenging layout and memorable moments throughout F1 history. Its return helps reshape the future schedule as the series prepares for changes in the coming years.

With Türkiye joining the lineup, F1 now has replacements lined up for two departing races. The Dutch Grand Prix and the Spanish Grand Prix are both set to leave the calendar after next season. Meanwhile, the Portuguese Grand Prix at Portimão has already been confirmed to return beginning in 2027.

As it stands, the 2027 calendar is expected to feature 24 races, with additional discussions ongoing about potential new locations, including interest from Thailand.

Istanbul Park has a rich history in Formula 1. The track originally hosted races from 2005 through 2011 before making a temporary return during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021. The most recent winner at the circuit was Valtteri Bottas, who took victory in 2021 driving for Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team.

The venue has also been the site of several iconic moments. In 2010, Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber collided while battling for the lead, creating tension within their Red Bull Racing garage. A decade later, Lewis Hamilton secured his seventh world championship at the track, tying the all-time record set by Michael Schumacher.

Formula 1 President and CEO Stefano Domenicali highlighted both the racing appeal and cultural significance of the location.

“We are delighted to return to Istanbul, a city that connects Europe and Asia and offers a unique atmosphere for our sport,” Domenicali said.

While an official race date has not yet been announced, the returning event is expected to fill one of the openings created by the departing races.

With a mix of returning classics and new venues under consideration, Formula 1 continues to evolve its global schedule, and the return of Istanbul Park adds another fan-favorite stop to the future of the sport.
