    I think it’s unlikely for a few reasons. The biggest reason being that F1 is sold out at most permanent race tracks (non street circuits) these days.

    Having raced both cars and bikes at an amateur level, I don’t think the safety features are similar enough. You move a lot of air fence/tecpro and widen or lessen gravel traps to switch between cars and bikes.

    They may once for a promo type of thing, but I doubt it’d be a consistent thing. Happy to be proven wrong for sure, but it seems logistically too tough.

      True true, they would be leaving ticket money on the table, even apart from all the safety and logistical issues.
