FIM has announced changes to the MotoGP calendar in 2012, where the series opener held in Qatar promoted one week. The first episode will be opened in MotoGP in 2012 under the lights that illuminate the Losail Circuit on April 8, 2012.
Inaugural race had been moved forward one week following the calendar Formula1 GP stating that China will host a F1 race in Shanghai on April 15. Sachsenring and Estoril circuit still can not clear whether it can hold MotoGP next season.
While the Jerez circuit ensured safe and can menghelat debut 1000cc era despite going through severe financial problems. But with the entry of Argentine GP and Austin in 2013, likely will be removed from the Jerez circuit racing calendar if it is still tangled in financial problems.
While the Sachsenring Circuit seems to have a greater opportunity to be able to roll on next year’s German GP. Germany is an important market for MotoGP, especially Stefan Bradl helped enliven the competition in the premier class.
The most a mystery Estoril Circuit is scheduled to hold a third series. The presence of spectators in Estoril, including the lowest one, plus Portugal’s financial condition has deteriorated so that the government think twice to give financial assistance towards the implementation of the GP of Portugal.
