Oct.3 (GMM) Bernie Ecclestone is interested in securing the former Turkish Grand Prix venue in Istanbul, the Hurriyet daily reports.
The Istanbul Park circuit hosted Formula One races between 2005 and 2011, and although poorly attended the Hermann Tilke-penned layout was lauded particularly for its challenging quadruple-apex turn 8.
But Turkey fell off the F1 calendar for 2012, after local organisers and F1 chief executive Ecclestone failed to agree a new higher race sanctioning fee.
Hurriyet now cites "sources" in reporting that Ecclestone is among those interested in bidding for the circuit.
