Wattie tells me he heard on the radio that the 2012 Moto GP will now be in March..
I'll be interested to see when the WSBK round is.?

I heard that as well, but they said they were working hard to try and move it to march to keep Australia on the MotoGP calander!

If they end up close together it sux for anyone who wants to do both.Would be Irish to move the Supers to the end of the year as it would be the same drama Moto is complaining about now so...Hmm.Hopefully Supers don't get the pips now and say stick it.Also the F1 to squeeze in-between also

Imagine if they were back to back?? Would be one hell a week (well actually 11 days). Head down on the Thursday and come back Monday week.
Wouldn't make a lot of sense unless they plan on aligning with the Malaysian Grand Prix which it is currently and the Japanese event which is in April.
They normally don't sort the calendar out until much later in the year, wonder why it is getting a mention now

The tricky bit is their contract for the next couple of years has it in September/October and the Australian MotoGP group doesn't want to move it. Carmelo Ezpoleta is pushing hard though, probably to keep Rossi happy, so he's making all sorts of threats.

The GP corp organises the F1 GP as well as MotoGP - currently 6 odd months apart -move them to the same time and that will cause issues......ie lack of marshals, and volunteers as well as AGPC staff not to mention the Worls SBK.
I also heard that the F1 may get the chop
as it costs too much money. Still, if they are close together both will feel the impact. If I had to choose I'd go WSB over GP - more of an inthusiasts meeting
