A proposal to host a second Italian Grand Prix in Rome has been halted, the president of the ACI (Automobile Club d’Italia) has confirmed.
Angelo Sticchi Damiani said that holding a race in Italy’s capital city would be too expensive to organise, speaking in a press conference ahead of Formula E’s Rome ePrix, which takes place this weekend.
With two races set to be held in Italy this year at Imola and Monza respectively, with organisers at Imola in particular hoping to stay on the calendar beyond this season, Damiani confirmed that there were plans being formulated to bring Formula 1 to Rome, but this is no longer a possibility.
