Chiron won a Grand Prix, but it was in 1931 so part of the pre-war championship. He only did two near-full post-war seasons, after that he was just a guest appearer at Monaco. By the time of his final appearance, he was either 60 or knocking on for it. Hermann Lang appears as 2 starts, 0 podiums, 1 finish, but he won two championship races plus some other big races in 1939, and did well in other years before that.

And the country with the most World Championships per head of population hasn't ever held a Grand Prix, and the nearest country to it to hold a GP lost it over 30 years ago. Whilst this country doesn't have a permanence circuit good enough a street circuit should be considered.

Let me guess: Finland. And that would make the GP that disappeared Sweden, which last held an F1 event in 1978 at Anderstorp.

I'd love a recreation of the Helsinki street circuit from the 90s. That was wild

Seconded

Canada confirmed for 5 years

About time it was confirmed. And note that it has Quebec and national government help (hello Mr Brown and Mr Mandelson)

duke_toaster · 27 Nov 2009, 21:28 (Ref:2590412)

They're too busy spending money on Afghanistan and ID cards, Jab.

Ralf's Girl · 27 Nov 2009, 21:56 (Ref:2590424)

I think the UK government has made enough investments in loss-making enterprises for the time being, don't you?

skells22 · 1 Dec 2009, 20:08 (Ref:2592494)

i think pretty soon we find out about the dates of this championship and that means keep a very close eye on the web sites please during next week

That's because they're inept.

skells22 · 7 Dec 2009, 15:29 (Ref:2595530)

It safe to say that we Brits got a British GP at Silverstone on July 11

This would suck. Abu Dhabi want the season finale again next year.

jab · 10 Dec 2009, 13:26 (Ref:2597277)

It was on the provisional calendar weeks ago that they were going to swap pending confirmation, but nobody picked up on it at the time. Surprised Autosport consider this "news" at all, let alone big news

ECW Dan Selby · 10 Dec 2009, 13:30 (Ref:2597280)

I would've thought this'll be granted. You have to put your Bernie goggles on this for one:

Where would you rather present the final race?:

A run down track in Brazil
or
A state of the art modern day complex in Abu Dhabi?

*Disclaimer* Not my opinions

Selby

jab · 10 Dec 2009, 13:35 (Ref:2597287)

As a 90s man, I still can't get my head around Brazil being the last race, and I like Abu Dhabi, so I'll go against the inevitable grain

Interlagos' FIA GT1 date is on November 28, so they change is good to them.

skells22 · 10 Dec 2009, 15:53 (Ref:2597349)

it is a case of find out sometime Friday as that the day we find out about this

Burnsie · 11 Dec 2009, 15:11 (Ref:2597941)

14/3	Bahrain
28/3	Australia
4/4	Malaysia
18/4	China
9/5	Spain
16/5	Monaco
30/5	Turkey
13/6	Canada
27/6	Europe (Valencia)
11/7	Great Britain
25/7	Germany
1/8	Hungary
29/8	Belgium
12/9	Italy
26/9	Singapore
10/10	Japan
24/10	Korea
7/11	Brazil
14/11	Abu Dhabi

So Abu Dhabi ends the season again, and Korea has been given a place on the calendar (subject to homologation of the circuit).

Purist · 11 Dec 2009, 16:01 (Ref:2597979)

Obviously, Bernie doesn't care about the weather either, as he's put Valencia in the dead of Summer.

i take it, Jab, that as a 90s man, you're used to the finale being at Adelaide?

skells22 · 11 Dec 2009, 16:45 (Ref:2598017)

Just be glad we just now just waiting on 1 track now and that is the new one in Sout Korea, we do not know the time of this race or the lap count (but i going to hazard a guess that we might need to get Sky + on stand-by for that race)

RCMADD · 11 Dec 2009, 16:57 (Ref:2598023)

you can tell where the money is.

middle east open and closes the season

The Korean race promoter has said that the race will be run in day light for the first three seasons, at least.

skells22 · 11 Dec 2009, 18:29 (Ref:2598060)

thanks for that bit of info Marbot.

Well, not really any different from August, which they had to move from due to the holidays

Suzuka. The one and only. Brazil is only right at the head of the calendar, preferably 2nd

I'm less interested in that, more in why Spain gets 2 Grand Prix within 2 months of each other.

Teflonso, but now with added Ferrari power.
