Thailand is poised to become the next country to join the F1 calendar in 2014.
The governor of the Sports Authority of Thailand Kanokphand Chulakasem told the Bangkok Post a deal had been agreed in principle with Bernie Ecclestone.
'It will be a city race like that in Singapore and Monaco. It will be a night race like the Singapore Grand Prix,' said Kanokphand.
Mark Webber performed an F1 demo run on Ratchadamnoen Avenue in Bangkok in December 2010 which was watched by over 100,000 people.
The only Thai driver to have competed in the world championship was Prince Birabongse Bhanudej Bhanubandh (usually referred to as B Bira) who drove for Maserati, among others, in the 1950s.
