Speedcars eyeing Abu Dhabi GP
The event is in its second year and three of this season's six legs will be held in Dubai starting December.
However, next year the series could be flagged off a month earlier so that it can be incorporated in the agenda of the season-ending Abu Dhabi F1 Grand Prix on November 15. And Berro, Ferrari F1's former team manager and press officer, says pushing for that to happen is one of his top priorities.
"Formula One is the pinnacle of motorsport around the world, but the Speedcar Series is an exciting championship as well. We have a very powerful 650hp car and this makes racing very exciting. The Speedcar Series is relatively new, just a year old and nothing is impossible if you like to put it that way," Berro said.
The Italian added that his organization is in talks with F1's governing body, the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) to get things going.
"Yeah [we have spoken]. I have to follow up on the Abu Dhabi [race]. The first race is very important and the Speedcar Series will work together with the FIA to get maybe three races [alongside F1] instead of the two we had last year. I think the combination of the Speedcar Series and F1 will be the most important mix in the world of motorsport."
