Morning everyone,The 2024 F1 calendar was just released, I'm attaching it below. Source: F1 ESPN Instagram account.The first thing that caught my attention was Japan right at the beggining of the season - I guess in an effort to ease logistics. Nonetheless we still got Miami between China and San Marino (sorry, Ímola is San Marino GP) and Canada between Monaco and Spain - but I see improvement.I'm glad Spa is confirmed. Does anyone knows what's about the Kyalami GP? I thought it was to be confirmed for the '24 season.Cheers everyone!

@dancrodrigues From what i've read on some motorsport sites, Kyalami almost made it into 24 calendar but it seems the owners of the track got greedy in the last minute and at least for 24 the deal is off. I was hoping to see it in 24 before those news emerged. Maybe in 25 or 26 we will see Kyalami which like mariohomoh said it's indeed an awesome track full of history!

@matty0blobber wrote:@dancrodriguesI don't understand why they don't do Canada after Miami, makes more sense surely.There's a lot of stuff going on for a GP to happen: there's contracts, weather, preparation of the track (Canada isn't a permanet track)... that's why I think they slowly change the calendar. It takes time.Anyway, I believe the 24 calendar to be more sensible then 23's.

@AnonymousWell, Indy is making some movement to race abroad, there's conversations with Mexico, Brazil and Argentina for nest year and they already race in Canada. There's a Indy driver (which name I'll not remember now) that said that if they are racing in our ground we should race in theirs. This F1 invasion didn't go unnoticed. Nascar even sent a prototype car to this year's 24h of Le Mans.About Miami and Vegas I guess is the same logic as Abu Dhabi, Qatar, Saudi, it's money. And it's not wrong, it's a business afterall.

And:For the opening two races of the season in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, the Grand Prix will take place on a Saturday. This decision has been taken to accommodate Ramadan. Kyalami is an awesome track but I never put any stock in it making it to the F1 calendar 🤷

@mariohomoh Honestly, I didn't know the track until last year - only knew its name from documentaries. Then I saw some gameplay at it and man, that's an awesome track!On my craziest dreams I still wish for Laguna Seca, can you imagine De Vries, Magnussen and Tsunoda going together into corkscrew chicane?!

Too many races these days.
Should be 20 race max.
No going back now though, I know.

@Anonymous Motorsport is my favorite sport, from that perspective the more the better - but I think that 20-24 races is the limit.

There's some anticipation before a race weekend, if we get races every week it may become normal, like soccer matches that it's alright to lose one game as there's another in the following weekend.

Not to mention the crews travelling around the globe all the time (those guys don't fly on 1st class flights), not spending time with their families, resting... that's heavy.

Thinking on that limit, the track rotation gotta be the only way to accommodate classic tracks, new tracks, returning tracks...
The only thing that still bugs me is one country having more than one race.

@dancrodrigues Yup, USA got three now, just because they suddenly decided that they like F1 for a bit!!

Not a fan of that personally. Don't need Miami and don't need Vegas, COTA is fine.

But each to their own.

@dancrodrigues Yeah, it's money of course!

For me, the season could start in Aus and finish in Brazil and then replace those first two and last three races with a Germany race, a race in Portugal and a rotating European GP in the summer months and I would be happy.

22 races, I would take that.
