2012 Formula 1 Grand Prix Of Europe
Ready for the snore-fest?
This track has been a fail in recent F1 calender since its debut in 2008. Every year was boring, even with the introduction of new regulation in 2009, DRS and KERS in 2011. The only excitement was the flying RedBull from Webbo. I'm not going to hold my breathe this year for any excitement with small operating window of the Pirellis. But I do want to see Kimi winning this race with 8 drivers in 8 races. Race Date: 24 Jun 2012 Circuit Name: Valencia Street Circuit Number of Laps: 57 Circuit Length: 5.419 km Race Distance: 308.883 km Lap Record: 1:38.683 - T Glock (2009) Tire Compounds Provided: Prime: Medium (White) Option: Soft (Yellow) Rain: Cinturato Intermediate (Green) / Cinturato Wet (Blue) F1 TIMETABLE (Valencia Local Time) Fri 22 June 2012 Practice 1 10:00 - 11:30 Practice 2 14:00 - 15:30 Sat 23 June 2012 Practice 3 11:00 - 12:00 Qualifying 14:00 Sun 24 June 2012 Race 14:00 F1 TIMETABLE (Pacific Time) Fri 22 June 2012 Practice 1 01:00 - 02:30 Practice 2 05:00 - 06:30 Sat 23 June 2012 Practice 3 02:00 - 03:00 Qualifying 05:00 Sun 24 June 2012 Race 05:00 F1 TIMETABLE (Eastern Time) Fri 22 June 2012 Practice 1 04:00 - 05:30 Practice 2 08:00 - 09:30 Sat 23 June 2012 Practice 3 05:00 - 06:00 Qualifying 08:00 Sun 24 June 2012 Race 08:00 WARNING!!!

I wish they rotate Valencia annually with other European circuits who cannot afford to pay FOM every single year. Like Spa who said they cannot afford anymore and co-host with some other countries or so.

Just looking at the layout of the track makes me yawn. I didn't even like the track on F1 2012! haha
So on topic, are they going to rotate GP of Europe since the Spanish GP is now going to be shared between these 2? They could rotate between Nurburgring, Hockenheim, Valencia, Catalunia, and Spa whenever there's not a GP at one that year. ***cough SPA cough***

Above that, you have to couple the mess going on between the Rheinland Pfalz government with the the Operating "gurus" of Nurburgring, Richter and Linder over their eviction notice served to them over 6 months ago for defaulting on their payments.

Yeah that's what I mean. That's why I threw the upcoming alternating Spanish GP sites. Say this year there's a race at Catalunya (sp) and Hockenheim. There's NOT a race at the Ring or Valencia. So the European GP could be held at one of those. And vice versa for next year. It could be held at Hockenheim or Catalunya. See what I mean?
