F1 2020: Nurburgring race in the snow?
Who else would pay really good money to watch a F1 Race in the snow? I say have them bolt up some WRC snow tires, and go at it.

That would be amazing at first thought- however, the snow would not hold up to the race conditions and grip levels would be so low that the cars would not function properly. Ultimately it would be a disaster. WRC on snow would be much better as the cars are tuned to handle it. F1 cars are so specialized I don't think they could be tuned to do well on snow.

It would need to be on an ice track with studded tires like they do in Scandanavia, to work well enough, imo.
Even then the likely repair bills from rut damage (amongst other slippy condition problems) make it unlikely. A nice theory though. Seems people always forget about the sprinkler wet race idea. Maybe that's the Atreides in me. |

A sprinkler aided wet race would be good to see as well, as it would be a different challenge for the teams and drivers. I like your thinking. |

Wheel to wheel rally style would be intense and certainly more forgiving WHEN contact occurs |
