Basket...Nice one mate, a good heads up to everyone. This and Assen the only one's to be on a Saturday. Do we know the reasons for this? I guess with Qatar it is possibly religious reasons? but not sure why Assen has always been on a Saturday?

Yes, thanks for the reminder.
Not be home on Saturday until around 4.00. So its set recorder, get home, open a beer, sit down and enjoy. Looking forward to it. |

But given that the Muslim holy day is Friday, why would Qatar be bothered about racing on a Sunday? |

I have now learnt that Sunday is an Islamic rest day and this is why the races will not take place then,(as was the case also the previos 2 times races were held there)
I think for say Israel,(if there was a GP there)Saturday would not be acceptable,although I type to be corrected? |
