The calendar was initially announced at the beginning of 1995 . The European Grand Prix moved to the Nürburgring circuit . The Argentine Grand Prix was the only newly announced race , with it taking place at the Autódromo Oscar Alfredo Gálvez circuit . The circuit was due to begin the season on March 12 , but there were doubts over whether the circuit would be ready in time . The third race in Japan was also under threat , as the TI Circuit was badly affected after the Great Hanshin earthquake , which damaged local infrastructure . The San Marino round , Spanish round and the Italian round required safety upgrades . The Circuit de Catalunya was also in financial difficulty . On February 6 , a revised calendar was announced , with the Argentine Grand Prix moved to April 9 , despite the fact it had now received official clearance from FIA safety inspector Roland Bruynseraede . The Pacific round was moved due to the Kobe earthquake , with it now one week before the Japanese Grand Prix . The European Grand Prix was moved forward seven days , leaving just a seven-day gap between the Portuguese and European rounds . However , some tracks still needed clearance to race
