Despite this decision, the Commission provided its support to the promoters as well as the teams in order to finish the 2012 season in style to reward the investments made by the competitors this year. A revised schedule will also be revealed at the end of the week.

Stefal Ratel hopes that this decision will not end a long and fruitful collaboration between the SRO and the FIA, since several solutions are currently being studied. A press conference will be given by SRO on Friday July 27 at 13:00 p.m. in Belgium, during the 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, a flagship event on the SRO calendar.
