Former host nations are shown in pink. A total of eight rounds comprised the 2010 championship, the same as in 2009. However the concept of running two races at each event, an idea introduced the previous year, was dropped for 2010, with the championship returning to the traditional format of practice and qualifying on the first day, and racing on the second. The Grand Prix of Finland, having been held at Lahti for the past two years, was replaced by a third Chinese race in Linyi which was announced at the beginning of the year.New GP in China http://www.f1h2o.com/post/new-gp-in-china F1H2O 3 March 2010 19 March 2013New venue in China http://www.f1h2o.com/post/new-venue-in-china F1H2O 22 June 2010 21 March 2013 The initial calendar published by the UIM featured an additional race in the week following the St Petersburg event, however a location was never finalised, and it was dropped from the schedule.
