Will the Dubai GP stay for 2010,2011?

[AndrewW-G]

Just a little thought, if Dubai are in trouble financially and don’t make as swift a recovery as they hope, what are the odds that the Dubai GP will get quietly removed from the calendar?
After all if Abu Dhabi, bail them out again, what’s the point of having two GP's in the UAE, especially when the cost of hosting the event is far far more than the ticket receipts

What Dubai GP?

There's Abu Dhabi and Bahrain but no Dubai GP They can't drop from the calendar a race that isn't on it yet.

On the GP2 / GT3 issue, the Dubai Autodrome won't be hosting any of those races this season. The only international meeting will be the Dubai 24 hours in early January (which has an excellent entry list).

Abu Dhabi (Yas Marina) will be hosting Aus V8's and GP2 in February and then FIA GT1 in April. The historic meeting planned for January has been cancelled - which probably shows that beans are being counted everywhere at the moment.
