2011 Season

[NJB13]

Not the news we're all waiting on from the WMSC, but still of interest. Here's the 2011 season and the announcement of no 13th team.
http://www.fia.com/en-GB/mediacentre/pressreleases/wmsc/2010/Pages/wmsc_080910.aspx

At an extraordinary meeting of the World Motor Sport Council in Paris on 8 September 2010, the following decisions were taken:


FORMULA ONE

The 2011 Formula One World Championship calendar is confirmed as follows:


13/03 Bahrain
27/03 Australia
10/04 Malaysia
17/04 China
08/05 Turkey
22/05 Spain
29/05 Monaco
12/06 Canada
26/06 Europe
10/07 Great Britain
24/07 Germany
31/07 Hungary
28/08 Belgium
11/09 Italy
25/09 Singapore
09/10 Japan
16/10 Korea
30/10 India*
13/11 Abu Dhabi
27/11 Brazil


* Subject to the homologation of the circuit

2011 new entries:

Following the press release of 19 March 2010 calling for expressions of interest to participate in the 2011 and 2012 seasons of the FIA Formula One World Championship, a number of interested parties expressed their interest. It was considered that none of the candidates met the requirements to be granted an entry into the Championship.

Consequently, the allocation of the 13th team will not be granted.

Thanks. Wonder if the prospective teams had to shell out any money to Bernie?

Where is the European GP being held?

[Fiondella]

Great to see Brazil as the season finale again :clap

[siberianlady]

Great to see SPA is still onthere!:-)

[Mrs Alonso]

Wish they'd get rid of Bahrain but yes,nice to see Brazil back as final race and the dates for Silverstone and Monza are firmly noted in my diary.

[Red is Best]

Great to see Brazil as the season finale again :clap

Yeah, great track. Abu Dhabi is so dull.

[Jonny]

The season finishes very late next year nearly into December:-E

[vcs316]

Can't wait for the Indian GP !! Would be attending for sure :-D

[Tifoso]

I truly hope you get to see a Ferrari win :-)

[NJB13]

India on my birthday, I know what I want next year as my birthday pressy. Already planning for it, hopefully can meet up with a few of our TSN Indian members too.

[vcs316]

I truly hope you get to see a Ferrari win :-)

Me too mate :-)

But despite whoever wins, I am looking forward to experience a grand prix weekend. Many of our members have attended numerous GPs and have been raving about how fantastic the atmosphere is and how beautiful the cars sound in reality.. Very excited that now I have a chance to witness it firsthand!!

[racingbradley]

:-)Thanks for posting. It's going to be a great season-early start in March right through to the end of November in Brazil thus cutting down the dreaded "closed season!!! Hope we have something good to cheer about at the end with a WDC and WCC. :thumb proverbial dreamer that's me!!!!

[Ant Raikkonen]

My aim is to do Silverstone & Monza next year.
Might give Silverstone a miss though if i can do Spa or Monaco instead. :-)
Hopefully Spa and Monaco year after.
It really is about time i did some of the great foreign races i really wanna do, like those mentioned above instead of doing Silverstone again for the 63rd time or something :lol

[Rob]

Posted list last night by mistake and realised already done, like say sorry for that :-??

good that Brazil is last race of season, in its rightfull place, still like to see Melbourne startr the season off.

@Ant, im wanting to do Spa aswell next year, that is my aim, hoping Le Mans aswell, but Spa YES YES YES. May give Silverstone miss, bit undecided about that atmo. Nice long season next year, well by 1 more race. Looking forward to it and to see the Indian GP, hope that isnt go be a 1 hit wonder :-??

I'm returning to my usual combination of Silverstone and Monza next year. Not at Monza this year unfortunately, first time for a couple of years that I've not gone.

I was hoping to do Monaco this year as well but it's just not worked out. I've told Hayley we will do Monaco in 2012 :-D

Copycat ;-)

[siberianlady]

We want to do Silverstone and Spa next year (Spa is a must every year!)
Tip- if any of you not done Spa yet and want to go- get in in there 2011 as it may just be too late 2012.............

Your kidding. :-E

I know you have very good sources.

[Suzie]

Hoping to do Silverstone next year and 1 more, depends if I can get someone to go with.

[siberianlady]

Well Mandz
what most people forget is they only have a licence till MARCH 2011 so the 2011 event is still not sorted either. They also said they made huge losses again this year and only had 52000 on race day- which considering the grandstands were nearly all sold out and the GA areas were packed there must have been thousands there with fraudulent tickets or simply got in through the fences...............does not make sense and someone is telling porkies there (or its a ploy to get the dwarf to reduce his fees.........) We shall find out!

Sounds like a ploy to get Bernie to lower his fees to me. How are you doing? Email me or PM me from the usual source.

Lol

If you can drive and go via Sheffield then I'll go with you. I cant drive.

[Suzie]

Silverstone's no problem (I can hassle a few people while I'm there I think ;-)), it's the other one I need a travel buddy for!

Yea, I meant Monza too. And Spa if I manage it!

[Suzie]

I can't make my mind up until March or so. Monaco, Spa or Monza hopefully.

[Hornet]

Dang it :-s

+1000

[Raz]

hmm.. gotta do a European race.. prolly will fly over for Silverstone

[Ant Raikkonen]

If i go back and live with my mummy and daddy (and max out a credit card), i could probably do Silverstone Spa and Monza next year ;-)

[siberianlady]

Well if anyone wants to do Spa then let me know. We have a great bunch from Germany, US, Australia, UK and god knows where that goes every year and (despite shitty weather like this year) have an absolute ball!

[WS6TransAm01]

13th team? USF1? What is going on with them?

[Tifoso]

The FIA refused any new entrants. ;-)

Also understand they fined USF1 for not pitching up...........
