I wish they would come to Sweden, I would love to see (and hear) these cars!

Looks like a nice calender!

What licence do Mantorp Park and Anderstorp have? Sweden doesn't really have a top level motorsport event now Anderstorp isn't in the WTCC.

Then again, there aren't any Swedish clubs in SF but I guess that could be solved.

EDIT : Just had a look at Mantorp Park on Google Earth and I don't think the answer is Grade 2 ...

They can't unless you work in marketing, but once you learn to ignore the bs football link you see the best cars & drivers outside of F1 (bourdais, pantano, pizzonia et al driving champ cars with v12 engines).

Hope euroboss can sort out their political problems in britain and act as another loud race in support.

Ebbsfleet FC for a 1 off race at Brands ;-)

The original line up for the Donington meeting was to have been EuroSeries 3000, Superkarts and Formula Jedi. Historic F1 was added to replace the 3000s following the cancellation of their Interlagos race. MS FF1600, Alfas, Fiats and Ma5das were added to the bill following the cancellation of June's BRSCC club meeting.

In terms of other venues, Magny-Cours's race was supported by Mitjet and Euroseries 3000; Zolder featured EuroBOSS, Benelux Formula Ford, Historics and Dutch Supercars; Estoril featured a medley of Fiat races and a couple of Italian championships, Formul'Academy EuroSeries, European F3 Open and European GT Open featured at Monza.

If Brands race takes place, MSVR are likely to be organisers and therefore I suspect that the main support races would be Formula Palmer Audi, Lotus Elises and GT Cup.

[Maybe a bit OT]

I'm not shure about the licences but I think you're right about Mantorp Park, I doubt it could host a full field of fast OW-racers. Anderstorp probably could though.

But like you said, there's no swedish clubs and probably not enough money and intrest.

Richard Head · 23 Oct 2009, 19:08 (Ref:2568225)

I have to say that the credibilty of this championship has gone through the roof!

12 races, all on great circuits, the fact that A1GP has all but died, ex F1 drivers, V12 engines, come on it don't get much better than this!

I know that Superleague were very close to replacing A1 at Surfers this weekend, it was only the late withdrawal from Texiera that stopped it happening, they had everything in place to go!

I'm obviously a big fan of this championship and i think it deserves alot of credit for having a good go at it during the current financial climate!

And single time as well. Just like the FIA GT, the Int'l GT Open, the Int'l Formula Master and the World Series by Renault. F1 / GP2 aside, only the MotoGP survived a third race in Istanbul (2005-2007), whereas the WTCC and the LMS quitted after two years (2005-2006).

duke_toaster · 25 Oct 2009, 14:39 (Ref:2569381)

They say it's only provisional though. Then again Turkey does have two SF clubs. If it were to be removed it would still be eleven rounds, which isn't too shabby.

Anderstorp is grade 2 and Mantorp grade 3.

duke_toaster · 28 Oct 2009, 12:44 (Ref:2571378)

So if there was the will they could hold a race at Anderstorp.

ger80 · 1 Nov 2009, 13:27 (Ref:2573396)

Only missing Rockingham or Lausitzring - this are still Champcars so build for speedway racing ...

blaffer · 19 Dec 2009, 11:26 (Ref:2602310)

The latest version (published on 18 Dec. by the FIA) of the "2010 International Series" calendar mentions the following events:
- 02/04 : Silverstone (GBR)
- 22/05 : Magny Cours (FRA)
- 16/07 : Zolder (BEL)
- 31/07 : Brands Hatch (GBR)
- 04/09 : Adria (ITA)
- 18/09 : Estoril (PRT)

Go_For_Pole · 19 Dec 2009, 15:20 (Ref:2602372)

This is half of the original leaked schedule and it remained almost unchanged (only Zolder moved by two weeks). Obviously there are some issues with the remaining dates but I have to say it looks very promising so far.

I don't think they are the same as DP01s (even if they are, the DP01 never did an oval race), so they would need to be specifically homologated for ovals. No need for it.

Shame they won't be racing at Spa.

Thundersports · 22 Dec 2009, 00:03 (Ref:2603460)

They are more or less DP01's.

I can't remember all the details now, but the DP09 Superleague car does take some inspiration from the DP01 but is a different car. I don't think they share much in the way of parts.

Go_For_Pole · 22 Dec 2009, 09:12 (Ref:2603574)

Complete schedule as published by RFEDA (Spanish federation). In comparison with the FIA published version Magny and Estoril are slightly moved and of course the six missing dates are added (marked with +).

Compared to the earlier, leaked version a race in Germany was added (new German team anyone? ) and I assume the TBC date should be between the A1GP race in Assen and the proposed race in Turkey. In any case, it is an excellent schedule.

- 04/04 : Silverstone (GBR)
+ 09/05 : TBC
- 16/05 : Magny Cours (FRA)
+ 20/06 : Jarama (ESP) - to be confirmed
+ 04/07 : Oschersleben (GER)
- 18/07 : Zolder (BEL)
- 01/08 : Brands Hatch (GBR)
- 05/09 : Adria (ITA)
- 12/09 : Estoril (PRT)
+ 03/10 : Spa (BEL)
+ 17/10 : Valencia (ESP)
+ 14/11 : Jerez (ESP)

jondownunder · 12 Jan 2010, 22:58 (Ref:2612468)

Good to see Monza added, and Adria and Valencia removed (yawn).

But sadly no Spa date anymore... and the 'TBC' finale will obviously have to be somewhere warm.

**gomick** · 13 Jan 2010, 11:23 (Ref:2612674)

Plenty of rounds - they did say they where going to expand in season 3...

NaBUru38 · 13 Jan 2010, 16:11 (Ref:2612807)

I bet that the proposed 12th round isn't European.

Mekola · 13 Jan 2010, 16:49 (Ref:2612823)

In Brazil, perhaps?

Stefvh · 13 Jan 2010, 19:48 (Ref:2612917)

Tbc could be a date 'in' the calendar. Not necessarily a finale.

skells22 · 13 Jan 2010, 21:27 (Ref:2612977)

now we need to find out who has the right to show it this time
by the way, will the superleague formula use the new part of silverstone?

Actually the article on the website announcing the calendar does state it will be:

An as-yet unnamed circuit will then play host to the Superleague Formula season finale.
