F1 2027 290km race plan reported by Autosport

Autosport reported Formula 1 is considering 290km grands prix from 2027 as part of the next rules cycle, but no change has been confirmed.

Autosport reported that Formula 1 is considering shorter grands prix from 2027, with a 290km race distance under discussion. The outlet said the idea is linked to the next technical cycle and a revised balance between electrical power and the internal-combustion engine, but no official rule change has been confirmed.

The same publication also reported that the possibility had already come up in stakeholder discussions earlier this season while the 2027 direction was being examined. In a separate Monza report, Autosport said Formula 1 chief executive Stefano Domenicali discussed shorter races, sprint events and the wider future of the championship.

Based on the material supplied, no approval timeline or implementation detail has been announced. For now, the 290km figure remains a reported proposal rather than a confirmed regulation.
