Russia and Malaysia promote the 2016 calendar

Of the 2016 calendar, what immediately stands out is the postponement of Sepang to the end of September just after Singapore and the advance of Sochi, currently set for October, before Spain.

Two substantial changes that found favor with both organizers.

“If we managed to face the difficulties of the first race, we can handle anything – the Russian promoter told the R-Sport press agency Sergey Vorobyov – Indeed, I believe that the move to May can only increase attendance in the stands given that it is a holiday period”.

“Considering the unlikelihood of having one of our drivers at the start of the F1 championship we tried to do something new to attract people – the words of the director of the Malaysian circuit Razlan Razali to the Star newspaper – We will focus everything on promoting the event”.
