New countries in F1 2008

F1 racing is truly a global sport. Grand Prix races have, over the years, been held in numerous countries throughout the world, including the United States and many in Europe. Europe is really the center of F1 racing, but more and more countries are getting involved, wanting to host their own Grand Prix races.

In fact, some countries are participating for the first time in 2008. Bahrain, China, Malaysia, and Turkey are holding Grand Prix races in their countries during the year of 2008. Singapore is scheduled to hold a Grand Prix event in 2010. Now, these are not additional races to the F1 series; instead, these events have replaced other Grand Prix races. In order for these new events to take place, F1 organizers decided to drop certain races in Europe and in North and South America.

Many fans are excited about these new Grand Prix races. Others aren’t too happy about certain races being canceled. But, fans will certainly be there, watching these exciting races.
