Mexico in, New Jersey out for 2014?

NEWS STORY

A provisional 2014 calendar issued to the teams in Monza omits New Jersey but includes Russia, Austria and Mexico.

Though the calendar has yet to be officially approved, which should happen when the World Motor Sport Council meets later this month, it confirms something that Pitpass has been saying for some time, namely that New Jersey will not happen in 2014 while Mexico will.

The draft calendar lists twenty-one races, which, if approved, would make the 2014 season, which sees a whole new formula change, the busiest in the sport's history.

As expected, Austria is back on the calendar, the Red Bull Ring hosting the ninth race on the calendar, the race before Silverstone.

The other major change sees Korea moved to the fourth slot on the calendar in a back-to-back with China.

The World Motor Sport Council meets in Croatia on September 26-28.
