The Grand Prix of Germany "has been included in the '13 F1 race calender by the World Motor Sport Council on Friday." However, the council "did not name which racetrack will host the grand prix." An alternative for the Nurburgring would be the Hockenheimring, which hosts the German F1 race every other year (DPA, 9/28). ... Seven schools in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, Malaysia have been chosen to take part in a pioneer golf program at the grassroots level run by the Malaysian Golf Association and Education Ministry. Professional Golf of Malaysia VP Mohamed Zain Yusuf said that the program would be partially funded by the government through RM500,000 ($163,000) a year. Each school would pick a maximum of 35 students to join the program (BERNAMA, 10/1).
