Well, this would certainly be interesting... there was rumours a few months ago that kind of vanished but they've resurfaced again.
The original rumours were that the FIA were trying to get Auto Racing into the olympics with some 100% identical spec race cars doing an event similar to Race of Champions but with less categories and no teams.
The entrants would have to compete in 4 different categories:
- F1/FE race
- Endurance Race (4~ hours)
- Karting race.
The above 3 had qualifying/knockout stage of 5 laps for each driver and then the top 15 drivers would go through to the final race where points would be handed out in their race type points structure.
- Rally race
The rally race had different rules, 1 practice run for each driver and then one after another they'd set their one and only time. (Track would be much smaller and simpler than real rally races because there would be no co-driver giving directions
All their scores would be added up from each category to determine the overall 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
The recent rumors are that it would be a spec race of Formula E cars, shiftinglanes.com/2015/08/auto-racing-in-the-olympics-ioc-mulling-over-adding-formula-e-to-the-games/ which in my opinion doesn't sound as good as the previous rumours
but if it did happen it would still give much more exposure for all of Motorsport.
Kimi Raikkonen and Robert Kubica would be two drivers to watch carefully as they'd be pretty damn good at all of the races.
