Magny Cours reprive
looks like it will be there next year and possibly the year after.

looks like the French caved in and paid the kings ransom.
I would have love it if thet refused to pay the astronomical fees bernie was asking, then next Italy would have said no since they never sell out, followed by Spa and Silverstone, then Canada, soon after Australia for not wanting to shift their schedule around so bernie can sleep better.
That would have put enough pressure on Bernie to rethink his ludicrous fees and extortionist practices. With all those races gone, even I, a long time F1 vet, would simply be not interested in watching the series.
btw, if you heard the comments by all the teams about the loss of the US Grand Prix, you would realize how important it was to them. Speed Tv played interviews conducted by Peter Windsor to a bunch of teams. Both BMW and Mercedes said it was their most important market, Williams thought it was a huge loss, etc etc.you can't argue with results.

Oh dear. Better give us back Indianapolis rather than Magny-Cours!

I don't understand what some people have so much against Magny Cours. It's not a start-stop track like Bahrain and the like. It at least has some proper fast turns like T1, T2, the turn before 180, the tun after 180. And you have two "passing spots" too (Adelaide and the last turn before chicane) - what more do you want?

the real problem with MC is that its a pain in the proverbial from a facilities point of view. promised regeneration has never materialised and its in the middle of nowhere from a commercial perspective.
look at places like Silverstone. easily reachable from East Mids, Heathrow, Stanstead, Luton airports etc. Road access, close to good facilities like London, Birmingham.
who the "F" wants to go out for a night in Nevers? the only relief from the area is about 150 miles up the road in Paris.
they could do with building a new circuit near Disneyland.Justice is blind but doesn't have to be stupid.
He was starting after very long break, with brand new codriver and brand new car, where he was trying to find correct setup suitable for him. And he had health issues before start of the rally. On...
