Calendar
On 12 July, GP2 Series organisers announced a provisional calendar for their second season. Unlike the first season of the GP2 Asia Series, this season will start prior to the new year, and be expanded to six events from the previous five. The Indonesian round has been dropped, while Bahrain earns a second event and Shanghai earns its first GP2 races. Shanghai will also host the official GP2 Asia Series test session prior to the start of the season.{{cite web | url = http://formula-1.updatesport.com/news/article/1215864543/formula_one/F1juniors/GP2-Asia-2008-2009-Calender/view.html | title = GP2 Asia 2008–09 Calendar | publisher = UpdateF1.com | date = 2008-07-12 | accessdate = 2008-07-12 | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20080820071354/http://formula-1.updatesport.com/news/article/1215864543/formula_one/F1juniors/GP2-Asia-2008-2009-Calender/view.html | archivedate = 2008-08-20 | url-status = dead }}
The sprint race of the second round of the championship – at the Dubai Autodrome – was cancelled due to flooding.{{cite news| title = Floods force cancellation of Dubai race| publisher =autosport.com| url =http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/72362| date =2008-12-06| accessdate =2008-12-06| archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20081208015347/http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/72362| archivedate= 8 December 2008 | url-status= live}}
On 17 December, an alteration was made to the calendar, with the Losail International Circuit in Qatar replacing the February meeting in Dubai. The meeting was also moved to February 12–14 because the original date on the calendar was unsuitable, due to MotoGP testing. This event introduced night racing to GP2, following the circuit's lead with MotoGP and its support classes and also Formula One's night race in Singapore.{{cite news| title = Qatar night race for Asia Series | publisher =autosport.com| url =http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/72518| date =2008-12-17| accessdate =2008-12-17| archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20081219123931/http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/72518| archivedate= 19 December 2008 | url-status= live}}
