Grands Prix
The 2008 race schedule was released on July 2007. The schedule was later revised, with Japan held before Australia, because of the original Australian date had a conflict with the AFL Grand Final. Two other changes were made. Portugal was moved from April 20 to April 13 and the Grand Finale in Valencia was on October 26 instead of November 2.
