Gentlemen, open your diaries!
The FIA has released the F1 racing calendar for 2006. For once, the season opener will not be held in Melbourne. Germany hosts two races as in the past: one for the German Grand Prix and one for the European Grand Prix. The rest is pretty much as it always has been. The new circuits in Bahrain, Shanghai and Turkey are included. Still no word on South Africa’s chances…
