"Our desire is to race internationally and as wide geographically as we possibly can."
Formula Օne, ѡith races іn Asia, tһе Middle East ɑnd Europe аѕ ѡell ɑѕ tһｅ Americas, fits tһe Ьill.

Organisers of the Australian Grand Prix, a government-funded event, expressed interest in the series featuring on their programme already last year.
The DTM is facing an uncertain future, with Audi departing at the end of this year and Mercedes and Aston Martin already gone, leaving only BMW.
DTM chief Gerhard Berger told Red Bull's ServusTV this month that if no German manufacturers supported the platform then it might have to be wound up.

Bond Muir said W Series, whose first champion Jamie Chadwick is racing in the European Formula Three Regional championship this year, needed to get dates in the diary for television deals to be sorted. (Reporting by Alan Baldwin, editing by Toby Davis)
