History :
Valencia, Spain, joined the Formula One calendar in 2008, hosting the European GP around the streets of the city.
Valencia marked the first new street course in Formula 1 since Albert Park, which has hosted the Australian Grand Prix since 1996.
However, Valencia, which has a seven-year contract to host a grand prix, didn't live up to expectations on its debut. The streets offered little overtaking, much the same as Monaco but without the glitz and glamour.
The 2009 race will have to do a lot better if Valencia hopes to attract sell-out crowds in future seasons.
