Ross Brawn says that he would like to introduce annual non championship race to test out new race formats and experiment with concepts of improving the show for the fans.
Ross Brawn took over the sporting side of Formula 1 when Liberty Media completed the acquisition of the sport, ousting long time supremo Bernie Ecclestone.
The last non-championship event was in 1983, at Brands Hatch which was won by the 1982 world champion Keke Rosberg.
"I have an ambition that we could have a non-championship race to experiment with the format and see what appeals to people because all of us are the same -- we don't always know what we would enjoy until we experience," Brawn told the Times newspaper.

Interesting.. I guess this would be good, but would teams just use this as a test session?

I'd love that. Maybe spice it up with a reverse grid and no blue flags !!
