Tottenham Hotspur have entered a “strategic partnership” with Formula 1 in a deal that will last the next 15 years.

The deal will reportedly bring a “new motorsport experience” to London as a karting track will be built under the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

This is a world-first in-stadium karting facility, which will also be the Capital's longest indoor electric go-kart track.

"The world’s first in-stadium karting facility and London’s longest indoor electric go-kart track will open in Autumn 2023."

Daniel Levy followed up: “As we continue to grow our sport around the world, partnering with world-renowned brands like Tottenham Hotspur allows us to take Formula 1 and motorsport to new and diverse audiences.

"The karting experience will be a destination and place that families, friends and aspiring drivers from all over the world will want to visit and enjoy, engaging new audiences and offering an accessible entry point to the world of motorsport.

"Since building this stadium our ambition has always been to see how far we can push the boundaries in delivering world-class experiences that will attract people from around the world all year round.”

Tottenham have been happy to engage with other sports since the opening of their new stadium in 2019.

In the past, they have hosted NFL matches there and the stadium has become the hub for the sport in the United Kingdom.
