The IRL has announced the races on its 2010 calendar. There are two more road courses, Rio de Janeriro and Barber Motorsports Park. There are two fewer ovals, Richmond and Milwaukee. The Milwaukee Mile, the oldest active circuit in the world, could reappear should an event promoter emerge. If that happens, it will return to its traditional date on the weekend after the Indy 500.
Road courses now outnumber ovals 9 to 8. The ovals are arranged in two groups of four.
