Franchise Notes: McLaren F1 Launches Light-Hearted Plan For Grand Prix In Woking

McLaren launched a "light-hearted plan" for a Formula 1 grand prix on the streets of its hometown of Woking. McLaren joked that its "absurdly ambitious plan" would enable Woking "to join the ranks of Monaco and Singapore as one of Formula 1's most glamorous and iconic race locations." The plan includes "an 18-turn track of just over three miles" -- named the Woking Int'l Circuit (AUTOSPORT, 8/15).

League Two side Newport County will receive "the normal share of gate income" from its EFL Cup tie at League Championship side Leeds United. Newport County could have received less after being drawn "at home" to Leeds, but requested to play away due to pitch refurbishments at Rodney Parade. Leeds United agreed to honor "sharing 45% of the gate income, less costs, as normal" (BBC, 8/15).
