The FIM has released an updated version of the 2012 MotoGP calendar.
The season opener still kicks off with the Qatar GP night race which has been moved up a week, April 8th instead of the previously indicated April 15th date.
The Jerez GP has been officially confirmed after the town’s mayor stepped in to ensure that they would host the race, while the German GP now lists the Sachsenring circuit but it still states that it is still subject to contract renewal as does the May 6th Estoril GP, but these last two could be dropped after 2012, when the Argentina and Texas rounds will be added to the 2013 calendar.
