Race calendar and results

[edit]

The provisional calendar for the 2013 season was released on 17 January 2013.[1] But on 7 February 2013 it was revealed that Moscow Raceway were dropped from schedule due to cost reasons. Silverstone Circuit will take Moscow Raceway's place in the calendar.[24] On 24 April 2013, the calendar was altered again, with dropping Zandvoort due to clash with German GP2 Series and Formula One rounds and changing to Mugello Circuit.[25]
