Todt considering Bolivian GP?

International Automobile Federation president Jean Todt has been in Bolivia to talk road safey - and racing.

The Prensa Latina news agency said the Frenchman met Evo Morales, president of the landlocked country in central South America, at the  presidential palace in La Paz, Bolivia's administrative capital.

The Bolivian news agency ABI reported that they discussed international road safety, Formula 1 and other motorsport categories, and a possible visit by Morales to a forthcoming FIA-sanctioned event.

Todt was quoted as acknowledging Morales' vowing to "work together" with the FIA.

The state newspaper Cambio said the former Ferrari boss pointed out the benefits of the 2011 Dakar Rally passing through the city of Potosi.

Other reports said Todt recently visited Equador and would also visit Peru, Chile and Paraguay.
