Valencia dropped from provisional 2013 F1 calendar
2013 F1 calendar
The 2013 F1 calendar will include 20 races again as New Jersey takes Valencia’s place on the schedule.
A provisional calendar revealed by Autosport is otherwise largely similar to this year’s.
Valencia and the Circuit de Catalunya are expected to enter into a race-sharing arrangement for the Spanish Grand Prix.
The races in New Jersey, Singapore and Korea are all pending confirmation for contractual reasons.
The season will once again being in Australia and finish in Brazil. The loss of the European Grand Prix means just seven races will take place within Europe.

Interesting – Joe Saward’s wondering if a French Grand Prix could be slipped into that three-week gap between Britain & Germany.

@bullfrog Don’t see it myself. Surely it would be on the provisional calendar…because it’s provisional. There are races on it already where contracts are yet to be agreed which would technically be the same situation for a French GP.

probably a reserve in case Bahrain is a bust.

Let’s all hope that F1 really starts to catch on in the US, otherwise F1 will be wasting a calendar slot by having two races in the US. Fortunately though, both circuits look good so far.

@blockwall2, here,here, also consider the value to the teams of being able to sell sponsorship deals to companies active in the US market, it might reduce the need to cut costs/innovation.

Interlagos is still the finale. All is well.
AndrewTanner (@andrewtanner) said on 21st September 2012, 13:42
Back to back Spa and Monza again, niiiice. I might try and visit them both…that would be pretty special!

@andrewtanner it’d be the “jealous moment of the year” for me if you do it, mate !

Well at least they are getting rid of some of the European races. Once they have a race in Africa they will be able to call it a World Championship.

I’ve misread something – where’s the Nurburgring? Hockenheim was this year, I thought they were alternating?
AndrewTanner (@andrewtanner) said on 21st September 2012, 21:14
@iamdanthomas Quoted from this article…
“Hockenheim is listed as the host track of the German Grand Prix. The Nurburgring was due to hold next year’s race in their race-sharing arrangement, but the circuit has run into financial difficulties.”
Daniel Thomas (@iamdanthomas) said on 22nd September 2012, 1:23
@andrewtanner Oh man, I feel so embarrassed. I hate it when people don’t read articles properly, now I’ve gone and done it.
AndrewTanner (@andrewtanner) said on 22nd September 2012, 12:18
@iamdanthomas That’s alright. But you should feel embarrassed ;)
Keith Collantine (@keithcollantine) said on 28th September 2012, 17:58
@iamdanthomas At some point the provisional calendar was changed and the venues for the German Grand Prix switched. I’ve enquired with the FIA and they say they cannot confirm which track will hold it yet, so I’ve marked it as ‘TBC’ now.

I know I’m in a small minority who actually rate Valencia as on of my favorite circuits. The amount of full throttle acceleration thru long stretches of multiple corners is unmatched (maybe rivaled by Spa)! The in-car videos at Valencia are my favorite example to show people how F1 cars work.

The Autosport article claims that it is Nurburgring rather than Hockenheim that is hosting the German GP.

There are about six circuits still on this calendar that I couldnt give a monkeys about, and I wait to be surprised by the American tracks. Dont see the point of building brand new circuits when they already have some fantastic tracks in the USA.
As much as I think France should have a GP Paul Ricard doesnt excite me because it looks like a migraine on tarmac.

Come on Jenson….Button all the way for the Brits…Can’t wait until he comes here to Melbourne

Jenson Button lol It’s all about Lewis Hamiliton….In terms of the cut in circuits for Europe, I reckon they should build a track in central Australia
