FIA Devolves Canadian GP From 2009 Calendar BMW Motorsport

Governing body FIA ratified its calendar for the coming season on Tuesday and left the Canadian GP off the list for the first time since 1987.

The inaugural Abu Dhabi GP replaces the Canadian race.

The Canadian GP had been held at the Montreal track annually since 1978.

An extraordinary meeting of the World Motor Sport Council (WMSC) was held in Paris today. The most significant decision was the dropping of the Canadian Grand Prix from the schedule meaning that North America no longer has a Formula One race.

The revised 18-race calendar now features a traditional summer break between the Hungarian and European Grand Prix while Abu Dhabi will host its first Grand Prix right at the end of the season.

Revised 2009 calendar:

29 March Australia
5 April Malaysia
19 April Bahrain
10 May Spain
24 May Monaco
7 June Turkey
21 June Great Britain
28 June France
12 July Germany
26 July Hungary
23 August Europe (Valencia)
30 August Belgium
13 September Italy
27 September Singapore
11 October Japan
18 October China
1 November Brazil
15 November Abu Dhabi
