"A one-off race where everything is on the line. Not long game, no world title, no points - just pure racing.

In keeping with the Olympic spirit, all the cars would be identical. Whether that's a grid full of Ferraris, Mercedes or another team entirely doesn't really matter.

Drivers would compete for their country in their national colours. Imagine Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button representing Great Britain, Sebastian Vettel and Nico Rosberg in the black, red and yellow of Germany and Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz proudly racing under the Spanish flag.

And, in common with each individual event in athletics, a country could enter a maximum of three drivers."

I'd enjoy. Who else?
