May 10 (GMM) Valencia's place on the 2008 formula one calendar is expected to be revealed to the world with a media conference on Thursday.
The governor of the autonomous Spanish region, Francisco Camps, will appear alongside F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone in the city, where a street race is to be announced, according to the Spanish newspaper 'Marca'.
It is not expected that the race is a threat to Spain's existing grand prix in Barcelona, and some sources even suggest that the Valencia event could be staged only once every two years.
Meanwhile, the feature of the 4.3km circuit - which has been designed by Spanish engineers with input by Hermann Tilke - is a temporary bridge, which will link the two sides of the Valencia port.
