Finally, IndyCar reveals the 2012 calendar

IndyCar has revealed its official race calendar for the coming year with considerable delay, after announcing the results of the investigation into the accident of Dan Wheldon (which is what IndyCar wanted to do before revealing the calendar).

The new race schedule will feature a new race in China and two events returning to the championship after a long absence from the calendar. The returning races are Belle Isle and the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California.

Although the calendar currently stands at 15 races, IndyCar officials are looking for ways to add up to two more races to the calendar, or at least one, given that the television contracts with NBC/Versus and ABC/ESPN require at least 16 races in the championship.

The complete schedule has been set out as follows:
