Sprint race just for F1 rookies increasingly likely this year (www.the-race.com)

This would be held at the post-season tests, with each team running one car.

I’ve wondered for some time if it would be worth having rookies racing with 2-year-old cars in parallel. Perhaps during the weekends where there’s no F1 race.

Keeping the older cars running would be quite some effort - like in keeping spare parts and so on

Yeah… my plan pays absolutely no heed to the economics of it. 😅 I just want to see more races, and let someone else figure out the money. Heh.

Anyway, the article does mention that the main hurdle for a rookie sprint would be economical. Glad to read that it’s being seriously considered.
