Formula One chairman Chase Carey has backed potential plans to hold the first Danish Grand Prix in 2020.

Carey travelled to Copenhagen on Wednesday to meet with the city's mayor, Frank Jensen, and Denmark's business minister to discuss the proposal.

'We're excited about the opportunity to explore a potential race here in Denmark,' Carey said.

Formula One owners Liberty Media are looking to add new and exotic races to the calendar

'I think Copenhagen represents the type of location that we think can really provide a great platform.'

The 4.6 kilometre route through the old city centre would see an estimated 107,000 spectators seated.

Liberty Media, Formula One’s new American owners, announced big plans to reshape the sport's calendar during an interview in 2016.

Plans include adding new locations and the Americans are targeting new venues in key markets, including Asia and the United States.

But Scandinavia is also an attractive option for the owners with Haas' Danish driver Kevin Magnussen a perfect marketing device.

'Scandinavia has been a great part of our sport and having local drivers is always a plus,' Carey added.

The potential budget discussed was 300-500m Danish krone (£35.7m-£59.5m) a year, while the expected income from spectators including tickets is 1-2bn Danish krone (£119m-£238m).

Haas driver Kevin Magnussen is currently the only Danish-born driver on the race circuit

Carey believes Copenhagen's picturesque backdrop is perfect for their broadcast approach

A big factor in Liberty Media's desire to assess new locations includes the focus on improving the broadcasting experience for fans.

Along with Copenhagen, races in Miami, Florida, and Vietnam have been discussed.

Carey believes that the bridges and water in Copenhagen would provide great television pictures.

If plans were confirmed it would be the first race to be held in Scandinavia since the Swedish Grand Prix was taken off the calendar following the 1978 season.

Swedish pair Ronnie Peterson and Gunnar Nilsson both died during that season - Peterson suffered a fatal crash on the first lap at Monza while Nilsson died aged 29 from cancer.
