Formula One's commercial boss Sean Bratches is due to meet with government officials in a number of Chinese cities to discuss the possibility of a new street race.
F1 celebrated its 1000th championship race last weekend with the 16th running of the Chinese Grand Prix at the purpose-built Shanghai International Circuit in Jiading. The sport's bosses have earmarked China as a growth market and Bratches believes the next step is to bring the sport to the streets of a major Chinese city.
"In terms of interest, we would be highly interested in a street race," Bratches told AFP.
