'Formula 1 returns to the Nürburgring, and a race in Portimao'

The German RTL knows for sure: there will be rides at the Nürburgring this year. According to the channel the Grand Prix will be added to the calendar together with a race in Portugal and Italy.

On Thursday it was announced that there will not be ridden at Hockenheim this year but now RTL reports that there will be a German Grand Prix. As was already rumoured in the circuit it would take place around the famous Nürburgring. The race weekend will take place from 9 to 11 October. In 2006 there was the last race on the classic circuit.

Besides a race in Germany there is more news. Two other races have been confirmed according to the TV station. Namely a race in Portimao, Portugal and a third race in Italy on the illustrious Imola. That would mean that we have a calendar with thirteen races that all take place in Europe.

The first three races are now over and next weekend the Formula 1 circus will go to Silverstone for a double meeting.
