Singapore: Races in Singapore, Germany, and South Korea plus the new grand prix in New Jersey are on a provisional calendar for the 2013 Formula One season despite uncertainty over their immediate futures.
The provisional venues and dates were circulated to teams at the Singapore Grand Prix, seeking feedback ahead of official confirmation at the FIA's World Motor Sports Council next week.
Singapore's contract expires this year, with an announcement expected on Saturday on whether it will continue next season. South Korea's grand prix and Germany's race at the financially troubled Nurburgring are also subject to contract negotiations, while the New Jersey race was given a mid-June date provided the circuit was completed.
Like this year, the season will start in Australia, on March 17, and finish in Brazil, on November 24.
The only race dropping out is Valencia, which from next season on will alternate with Barcelona as host of the Spanish GP rather than both having a race. That leaves Europe with only seven of 20 races.
The provisional calendar retains a long mid-season break between the Hungarian GP on July 28 and Belgian GP on September 1.
