A top Copenhagen official has played down hopes the Danish capital could soon join the F1 calendar. Ninna Hedeager Olsen, the deputy mayor for Copenhagen's technical and environment department, told Politiken newspaper that an F1 race in the city is "completely unrealistic".
"The organisation of an event like formula one is so extensive and requires so many resources that it is completely unrealistic for Copenhagen by 2020," she said. Hedeager Olsen said another major obstacle is the city disruption the event would cause. "My administration estimates that formula one could affect central parts of the city for up to nine weeks," she said. "This is of course completely unacceptable." (GMM)
I could, but the problem is lack of funds and interest. Its not like we have bad tracks here in Sweden, in fact we did use to host a GP here in Sweden. I dont find it likely, but I would love to have GP here, especially over having a doublette in another country.

I don't thin anyone took this proposal very seriously. I don't anticipate ever seeing a race in Scandinavian countries. Ever.
