France GP (Magny-Cours) ends after 2008

Post by Flow »

2008 France will be the last one held at Magny-Cours. Ecclestone want it in France Street, but no more where it is held since 17 years.

Man, when will he stop? Magny is a cool track in my opinion, always like watching races there.
I may be slow, but at least I'm consistantly slow !

You got it right Kafee, seem that the track is lost in middle of field, difficult road access and less crowdy than before.

Here, see on the map : http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&hl=fr&ge ... 5&t=h&z=15
Compared to Montreal, city is all around : http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&hl=fr&ge ... iwloc=addr
