Fans asked to choose venue for Polish GP

(GMM) Poland could be among the next names to feature on future formula one calendars.

The electronics firm LG, a global sponsor of the world championship, is backing a campaign in the central European country to select a location for an inaugural Polish grand prix.

Polish fans, whose numbers have grown enormously since the debut of Poland's first F1 driver Robert Kubica in mid 2006, are being asked to select between the locations Warsaw, Krakow, Breslau and Gdynia for a circuit.

Votes will be accepted until August, when one of the four locations will be recommended by LG to formula one authorities.

"Formula one has become much more popular in Poland than when I was growing up, when there was nothing," Kubica, who was born in Krakow before as a young teenager relocating to Italy to advance his karting career, said recently.
