Season calendar

A ten-race calendar for the 2016 championship was revealed in a press release on the sport's official website in January.[1] Amongst regular fixtures Abu Dhabi and Sharjah were two new races, with the championship scheduled to make its first appearances in Dubai and Croatia.[10] Races in France and Portugal returned after their re-introduction in 2015, although the Portuguese race switched venues from Porto back to its traditional location Portimão.[11] China returned to having two races on the calendar, an arrangement last seen in 2010 when three races from the country featured. An additional two rounds, expected to be in Asia, were left vacant by the announcement to be confirmed at a later date. Speculation linked one of these vacant slots to a proposed race in Phuket, Thailand,[12] which had provisionally held a slot on the 2015 calendar before the round was cancelled mid-way through the year. A race in Macau is also under negotiation to fill the other calendar slot.[13]
