Valencia Seek to "Re-Negotiate" F1 Deal
According to Autosport.com Valencia's Local Government are seeking to re-negotiate thier F1 deal. Thier current contract was signed in 2009 for 5 years. Could we see an end to one of the most tedious GP layouts in recent memory (though the last part of the lap is good technically it adds nothing to the actual racing)? Or is it more likely that Barcelona and Valencia come to an agreement on alternating the races, as both are loss-making currently. I think Valencia keeping thier current annual race and paying FOM less for the privelage is the least likely scenario, not with muliple new GPs scheduled and an already congested calendar.
Would anyone actually miss the race if it was bumped off the calendar?

No, lets get rid of it, no country needs two races anyway.

The track isn't actually that bad but it never seems to produce any decent racing, so get rid of it I say!
Of course it all depends on how much money they are prepared to throw Bernie's way, as usual.

Its all down to the cash that Bernie can extract from these country,s.Spain is struggling,with its economy,so money is tight.I dont think it is an interesting circuit at Valencia,so wont mind if it is cancelled,Personally i am considering going to the Hungaroring this year ,what do you think ?

I so wish they drop Valencia and cross the border and replace it with Portimao as the European/Portugese GP

While I'm against F1 seemingly dropping all its European races, I have to say I wouldn't miss this one. Probably the most boring track on the calendar in a country with a struggling economy and one that's already got an F1 race anyway.

I would be happy if this race fell off the calender, especially if it gave Spa a firm footing.
I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy
