Good to see Nurburging on the list for 2015, I hope it stays there!

When are they going to go over to a winter championship so Le Mans is the final race.
 Silverstone a week earlier next year, could need snow tyres.

So 2 Le Mans in 2 weeks, is the first one almost a shake down for the 24hr.

Now I've got the time, its tempting to go for the fortnight, and find a local campsite for the week in between.  Would need bacon resupply from blighty

Although Brazil is missing from 2015 due to refurbishment at Interlagos, it will probably be back in 2016. I hope that it comes back without displacing the Nurburgring.

Nurburgring will be at GP Strecke.   
Would love to see them at the Nordschleife, but given safety requirements that's gonna be wishful thinking ...

If that takes place at all... Apparently, the Nürburgring date is already blocked by the ADAC GT Masters. See link below.
