Auto racing at the 2028 Olympic Games program?
This slightly crazy idea emerged recently. Several disciplines are competing to be part of the 2028 Olympic Games. Auto racing is on the list, along with electric karting.
Is there any chance of seeing Formula 1 drivers at the Olympic Games? The idea seems absurd. But there is some truth in these speculations. During each Olympiad, the IOC, which manages the event, adds or removes disciplines. For example, surfing will be part of the Olympic program for the first time in Paris next year.
Today, the International Olympic Committee is considering new sports that could be added to the list of competitions. According to the Reuters news agency, motorsports could be included. The competition would take the form of a race with electric go-karts.
Rude competition
The final decision should be announced in the coming weeks, assured the president of IFAF, the International Federation of American Football. But karting will face tough competition with flag football, a cousin of American football. Softball and karate are also candidates for the 2028 Olympics.
To formalize the arrival of a new discipline in Los Angeles, the IOC will have to ratify the final decision.
