The last couple of weeks have seen loads of Motor racing activity in Valencia. The Launch by Alonso and Hamilton of the Vodafone Mercedes McLaren MP4-22, a bit of a non event if you weren't one of the chosen few who were allowed access to the City of Arts and Sciences, but great on the telly! Then, following that shindig the Cheste Race Track has been hosting Formula 1 trials until the 2nd February.
This week, a map of the proposed Monte Carlo style Grand Prix circuit around Valencia Darsena (the Port) was announced, with the news that if all goes ahead as planned and agreements are reached, the first Valencia Grand Prix will take place in 2008.
The President of the Comunidad Valenciana, Francisco Camps was at the World Travel Fair FITUR this week to preside over 'the day of the Valencian Community' and intimated that the race could be held 'very soon' The Socialist party are apparently against it but give no reasons to why.
