European Grand Prix in Valencia

The European Grand Prix is a Formula One event that was reintroduced during the mid-1980s and has been held regularly since 1999. It will take place until at least 2015. It’s still not always clear why it is a seperate race and i seem to remeber there was a timew hen the points didnt count towards the world Championship.

The first European Grand Prix was the 1923 Italian Grand Prix, held at Monza. The idea is the European Grand Prix is usually held in a country that also holds a national Grand Prix in that same year.

The Nürburgring has also been used for the European Grand Prix along with Donnington and Brooklands which was designated the European Grand Prix five times between 1950 and 1977. Since 2008 the European Grand Prix has taken place in Valencia, Spain. During the 2009 event, Valencia signed a deal for a further 5 European Grand Prix races.
