So since my last posting earlier today, the FIA, Formula One's governing body has confirmed that there will indeed be 20 race's on next year's F1 calendar. It has not yet been announced where the 20th race will take place but it is thought that Turkey's Istanbul Park circuit could be in line for an F1 comeback.
Whatever circuit hosts the race they will only in my opinion be given a one year contract, the reason I think this is because New Jersey is set to be on the calendar in 2014 and under the current Concorde Agreement between Formula One, the FIA and the team's there is a provision for only 20 races and I find it extremely unlikely that the teams will want extend the number of race's on the calendar.
The other possible replacement is the potential return of the A1 Ring in Austria. The circuit is now owned by RedBull and has been renamed the RedBull Ring.
The Austrian circuit last hosted a round of the Formula One championship in 2003. So it will be extremely interesting to see what happens when the calendar is finalized.
