The World Motor Sport Council has confirmed that the German Grand Prix will now take place on the July 7th in order to accomodate an additional European race.

The yet to be named grand prix is thought to be the Turkish GP which was dropped for 2012 - however Bernie Ecclestone flew to Istanbul this week to begin negotiations for a return.

The event is "subject to approval" according to an FIA statement.

"The date for the 2013 Grand Prix of Germany has been moved to 7 July, and 21 July has been reserved for another F1 European event, subject to the approval of the relevant ASNs," it read.

The German GP had been scheduled to take place on July 14th.
