      Hi martin,
      Is this the official calander?
      Is it likely to change before the year is out?


      Cheers,
      Alex

        Yes, and yes.

        I'd expect the French and Japanese dates to be absolutely fixed, and I know that planning is well under way for Oschersleben.

        Qatar has made a late reappearance, perhaps to keep sponsors on board. We shall see.

          Russia seems to be completely out of the frame for this year now - but still a definite maybe for 2013.

          Still hoping Spa will come back though - the 4 hour race we did there in 2010 was one of the most enjoyable races I've attended even with the rider restrictions.

        Shame about the race date clashes. Notice the Doha round only a couple of days after Isle of Man TT Senior race, maybe only one day if bad weather in IOM, Also Oschersleben clashes with Ulster Grand Prix, not to mention the BSB rounds. Interesting choices for the Honda Legends Team.

          Well spotted!

          It's always been a problem fitting in with everything, but for TT Legends it could be a real issue...

            Don't worry, we have a plan and will be there - no need to cancel your tickets and hotel rooms!

            I'm half joking but we did have fans come out last year! Sadly one of them only really came to see Cameron Donald - who was unable to make it due to an injury just before he flew out! It is actually a good race to go to - flights are not desperately expensive and track entry is free with a nominal sum to get in the grandstand! No Le Mans style shenanigans but there is a pit walk and if you've never been to the middle east you'll never forget it!
