The race is on. The 2020 Formula One season continues to take shape, with the Azerbaijan, Singapore and Japanese Grand Prix now officially cancelled.

0:15.8

But with plenty of circuits, willing to take their place, there's still lots of room to manoeuvre to ensure there are at least 15 races this year. I'm Ed Sture and joining me for chat on all things

0:25.4

F1 and Mark Hughes and Scott Mitchell. Scott, how are you? I hear you're thinking about a

0:31.7

relatively early attendance to a race circuit. Yeah, I'm good, thank you. With all of the schedules now taking place for a few championships internationally and nationally,

0:43.5

among all the excitement of Formula One getting its act together,

0:48.3

the Porsche Carrera Cup Scandinavia has sort of announced like a revised schedule.

0:53.8

And the second round of the new schedule is the,

0:58.4

I think they call it the Midnight Sun Race,

1:00.6

which is in, I've got to pronounce this right,

1:02.3

Ghelefdiur in the north.

1:06.7

I'm well aware of the amount of travelling that sometimes you get sort of roped into to go from,

1:36.7

I think, I'm going to see, my geography is not great, but it's basically, I'd say Scotland, didn't I? You did. Sorry, yeah. So, Galeftior is very, very north in Sweden.

2:02.7

The reason I said Scotland is my geography is not great, and I always compare it sort of side by side with the UK, because that sort of gives me a better reference.

2:11.2

So where Stockholm is, Stockholm is basically just beyond the northern most point of Scotland.

2:19.5
