In the interest of having the carset completed before the deadline of 31st of December, this year, I took the schedule up for a revision. There are a few tracks that are done, but they did not please me when I drove them. Turkey was one that left me kinda worried. The track is really bumpy! And it also crashes sometimes. If anyone can, i'd like you guys to test that track and tell me if it's really a good idea adding it to schedule. I don't think it'll have any modfications before the end of the year, so we should really take that into consideration.
China is looking really good. It lacks elevation changes, but the whole circuit looks really good, and a hi-res update is avaible. To top all, it has no ctds, at least on my computer. We should definately have that one, although it's a bit boring as seen in the last GP ;D
I opened space for 4 test sessions, instead of 2. Just to keep the whole thing tidy. Also, do you guys mind having consecutive race weekends? It would not affect much in my opnion and would only be for a couple of times.
Finally we should try to keep the schedule with 19 races. 17 was already quite a lot of races, and doing 20 would increase a lot the time of the season. So taking Turkey out, we could keep the Luxembourg GP idea, and choose a track to have the European GP. If by any chance, the Turkey track is updated, we use it as the European GP for this year? Then, in 2007, we can see about adding Turkey permantly to the schedule.

Yeah, Jerez is in the works, and hopefully finished before the end of the year. If the track comes out good, I'd personally drop Barcelona and have Jerez as the official Spanish GP...I just can't stand Barcelona, but that I leave up to voting
There's also Bahrain, but we should discuss that one for 2007 I think.
