Keyvan Andres – You’re the boss

We hand the reigns over to Keyvan Andres, who crafts a new addition to the FIA Formula 3 calendar. Choosing everything from the country, to the celebrities that he would invite, the HWA RACELAB ace creates a new race weekend.

Which country would the race be based in?

That’s a good question, because I am from a bit of everywhere, so I don't know where to choose exactly. I would probably pick Iran, because I race for Iran, my dad is Iranian and F1 doesn’t race in that country at the moment.

Which city in that country?

It would be in the capital, Tehran.

Would it be a street or a track race?

I would have a real circuit - I have always wanted to have a circuit of my own. I like a good setting on a racetrack, with a lot of green, a lot of trees and some water features around it.

I love tracks where there is a lot of opportunity to overtake and make moves, so I would avoid very long corners which lead to high speed straights, or high speed straights leading to long corners, because those are the most difficult to attempt to make a move. It would probably be a bit like Monza, with long straights and late, hard, breaking. A combination of that, with a lot of high-speed sections. Probably a mixture between Monza and Silverstone - that would be fun to drive.

Would it be a wet or a dry race?

I don't mind the wet, but in the dry you can push so much harder and attempt more aggressive moves. I would want a high-speed circuit and this wouldn't suit the rain.

Would it be a day or a night race?

A night race. I have never had one, but they look cool! I think that as long as the track is well lit, then it would be fine.

Which celebrity would attend the event?

Dan Bilzerian, he looks like a fun guy and a bit of a persona.
