Ok the FIA have announced the calendar for next season with a couple of suprising races ( in some ways...for most of us though its a case of whats taken them so long !!)
Here is the new list of dates
Tuesday, 29, August, 2006, 11:52 Motor sport’s governing body the FIA published the 2007 Formula 1 fixture list on Tuesday after it was approved by a fax vote of the World Motor Sport Council.
The San Marino and European Grands Prix – which have long been de facto second races for Italy and Germany respectively – have been dropped, while the Belgian GP at the magnificent Spa-Francorchamps circuit has been reinstated.
As expected, Australia will resume its traditional role as the season-opener after deferring to Bahrain this year because of a clash with the Commonwealth Games.
The Japanese Grand Prix will move from Suzuka to Fuji, the circuit that staged the country’s first two grands prix in 1976 and 1977.
The 17-race schedule includes five back-to-back races: Malaysia and Bahrain in April, the two North American races in June, France and Britain in July, Italy and Belgium in September and China and Japan in September/October.

A shorter season for the guys next year and how great to see Spa back... And 2008 I think we are due to see Russia getting involved.... Im glad to see though that countries that already holda couple of GP's are losing those to make room for new places....Its what the sport needs .....Ohh and ofcourse for Scummi to retire but thats another story altogether isnt it folks
