Calendar

The first provisional calendar was released in October 2008. [2]

Marrakech hosted a round on a new temporary street circuit in the heart of the city on 3 May. [3] and Porto returned to the championship.

On 5 November 2008, FIA released a new provisional calendar, and announced the date of the Race of Germany in Oschersleben moved from 30 August to 6 September (due to clash with the date of the Belgian Formula One Grand Prix [2] ), and the date of the Race of Japan in Okayama moved from 25 October to 1 November. The Race of Italy was originally scheduled to be run in Monza but it was changed to Imola, and the date of the event in Italy was also changed (from 4 October to 20 September). [4]
