Turkish Culture and Tourism Minister Mehmet Nuri Ersoy told parliament’s planning and budget committee that Formula 1 will return to Istanbul Park as part of his ministry’s 2027 targets. He also said the Culture Road Festival will expand to 32 provinces and the number of archaeological excavations and research projects will rise to 820. Ersoy cited tourism revenue of nearly $51.3 billion in the first nine months of 2026 as backing for the plans. The Formula 1 comeback matters because it would restore a high-profile international event to Istanbul and support year-round tourism demand. Next, watch for the race calendar and hosting terms, plus budget allocations for the festival expansion and excavations.
