FIA finalises 2011 race calendar

The FIA have today confirmed the 2011 calendar, now featuring 20 races thanks to the introduction of the Indian Grand Prix.

Next year will be the longest season in history, starting in Bahrain on March 13th, ending nine months later in Brazil on the 27th November.

Two races, India and China, are both subject to homologation of the circuits before they are finalised.

The reason for the Shanghai circuit needing homologation is due to their race license expiring, before a new one is issued, the circuit must be upgraded to meet the FIA's guidelines.
