The FIA has released the 2012 calendar of the GT1 and GT3 Championships heading to new venues nest season.

GT1 World will have rounds in Europe, supported by the FIA GT3 European Championship, visiting Nogaro, France and Zandvoort, Netherlands for the first time. There will be further rounds outside of Europe, with standalone events in Ordos, Beijing, Argentina and Russia.

The first of the non-European rounds will be held in August with GT1 returning to China for back-to-back weekends, first in Ordos and then onto Beijing. The cars will return west and head to Moscow where the venue is the 2.5mile/4km Moscow Raceway located 75km from the Russian capital.

The FIA GT3 European Championship will support GT1. Nogaro and Moscow are two new venues and GT3 returns to Zolder for the first time since the 2009 season finale. GT3 will return to Navarra, Algarve and Zandvoort following highly successful events in 2011.
