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.

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

Compared to Montreal, city is all around : http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&hl=fr&ge ... iwloc=addr
