ArrayNew venues on A1GP calendar
By Steven English Monday, June 9th 2008, 10:36 GMT
A1GPA1GP will visit several new venues next season, including a street circuit in Jakarta, Indonesia, and the Algarve International Circuit in Portugal.
Indonesia hosted races at the Sentul circuit in the first two seasons of A1GP, but a new street circuit will be developed in the capital city for the third event of the season in November.
The 2.9-mile Algarve circuit, near Poritmao, is due to be completed in October and will open with the final round of the World Superbike Championship on November 2. It will host the penultimate round of the 2008/9 A1GP season on April 12.
They are the second and third new circuits on next season's 11-date calendar, after Mugello was announced as the opening round of the season last month.
Brno in the Czech Republic and Eastern Creek, Australia have both been dropped from the calendar for next season. Eastern Creek has hosted a race in each of the three A1GP seasons so far, while the series has visited Brno for the last two years.
China is set to hold just one round of the series next season, with both Shanghai and Zhuhai in the running for the December slot. No country has yet been confirmed for the date in March which was A1GP's second visit to China this year.
Although both the British and South African rounds are on the calendar, the venue for each is yet to be confirmed. The Durban street race is not traditionally confirmed until closer to the event, but there is a possibility that the British race will move away from Brands Hatch.
The official pre-season tests will take place at Silverstone on August 18-20 and Mugello on the Wednesday and Thursday before the opening races of the season on September 21.
The 2008/09 calendar (subject to FIA approval):
Date Venue Country
September 21 Mugello Italy
October 5 Zandvoort Netherlands
November 9 Jakarta Indonesia
November 23 Sepang Malaysia
December 14 TBA China
January 25 Taupo New Zealand
February 22 TBA South Africa
March 15 Mexico City Mexico
March 29 TBA TBA
April 12 Algarve Portugal
May 3 TBA Great Britain[/quote]
