The London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) has confirmed that an ambitious plan to stage a Formula One race is one of four bids being considered for future usage of the Olympic Stadium.
Following an extension to the bidding period, the LLDC on Tuesday announced that bids have been received from Barclays Premier League football club West Ham United, third-tier team Leyton Orient, Intelligent Transport Services “in association with Formula One” and UCFB College of Football Business. The bids will now be assessed to ensure they are compliant, before being evaluated ahead of negotiations. The bids aim to add to the legacy uses already secured for the £486 million Olympic Stadium. It is already set to become the new national home for athletics and host to the 2017 World Athletics Championships.
