Right after we finally fixed the track to not be that much of a snoozefest, we lose it for another damn street curcuit.

Interesting. So what gets dropped to make room for it on the calendar?

Probably Barcelona, their contract runs out in 2026. There's a possibility for them to run at the same time tho, like with Valencia.
