Mook Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Wonder if it'll end up being a Spa, and coming back in a couple of years, or whether it's completely dead... Canadian GP dropped for 2009 - F1 | ITV Sport The as yet unexplained decision to drop Canada means there will be no race held there for the first time since 1987 and no North American round at all. Full calendar: 29 March Australia 5 April Malaysia 19 April Bahrain 10 May Spain 24 May Monaco 7 June Turkey 21 June Britain 28 June France 12 July Germany 26 July Hungary 23 August Europe (Valencia) 30 August Belgium 3 September Italy 27 September Singapore 11 October Japan 18 October China 1 November Brazil 15 November Abu Dhabi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teacake Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 That's not good. It's Spain they should be dropping, and leaving in Canada as well as bringing back the USA GP. Oh, and bring back Kyalami as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuncS3 Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Yep that sucks - I went to Montreal this year and was planning to go next year again. There was 300,000 at the GP so it has plenty of fans. Dunc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupramax Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 That's not good. It's Spain they should be dropping, Which one? Barcelona or Valencia? Valencia was just a procession this year with nowhere to overtake but Barcelona is great. Been out to see this a couple of times now and it makes a great weekend with the nightlife of Barca and a day spent in the sun watching F1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barcelona. The location might be great but the circuit is the dullest in F1 and the races are almost always processional. Valencia was a big disappointment for me, as I was expecting a lot more street circuit feel, but it just seemed like another procession between big wire catch fences. If they could improve overtaking prospects it might become a decent track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
