Wasn't there talk of a Nigerian team right in the begining ..... and wot about a UAE/Dubai/Quatar/Bahrain team?
Its just that the Mid East region has money and its wealth Ferrari are targetting.
Tony Tex did say a South Africa race wasn't guaranteed.

There was a news story some time ago, as I understand it a change of government stopped the team from happening. But I think any Nigerian team would spend a year doing another class before stepping up - remember A2 guys?

If there are still two races in China, then I will put my money on Zhuhai and Chengdu. But Chengdu still needs a lot of work. The track itself is ok but not the facilities.

I hope they get Macau next season, but Zhuhai isn't bad. Shanghai was not good in terms of attendance from the looks of it. I hope they don't completely remove all Chinese rounds...
Zhong Guo Dui, jia you!

You can pretty much count on there being two Chinese rounds. Zhuhai and a big surprise.

Macau circuit is only grade 4, it cannot host formula races faster than F3.

I don't think A1GP round Macau would work to well. Its too narrow and twisty.

as far as I can tell, here in Zandvoort in october, we'll have the Benelux Racing league ( Ford Mondeo and Focus silhouette cars ), Dutch Supercar Challenge, the Samsung BMW 130i cup and the Formido Suzuki Swift cup.

Not Macau.
I would expect to see some regular support races in future seasons at rounds where motorsport is developed, such as the Netherlands and Brands Hatch, as spectators would demand it. In new motorsport markets, where motorsport is less developed and there are large emerging markets for Ferrari, such as China and India, I would expect more Ferrari festival events.
