Jul.27 (GMM) F1's governing body on Friday published a provisional grand prix calendar for the 2008 season.
Contradicting earlier press reports, Australia is listed as the season opener atop an 18-race schedule; one more than this year.
With a May date, Turkey's round is much earlier than usual, while the Canadian grand prix is marked as provisional.
France has won a reprieve in the form of a solid June date, while the FIA confirmed that Valencia will stage the European Grand Prix and Singapore will host the first-ever night race.
The season, meanwhile, will end in Brazil later than usual, on November 2.
