Turkey gets go-ahead to build a circuit
Four cities are bidding for the race: Istanbul, Izmir, Antalya and Kirsehir. Tahincioglu says that the four projects will be put to Bernie Ecclestone and he will make the decision.
There remains considerable scepticism that the race will ever take place because of the weakness of the current government and the economic problems which have beset the country.
