Magny Cours gone from 2008

I think Magny-Cours is alright as a track to drive on, but I can't remember a single race there that was particularly interesting. Still prefer it over the dreadful Shanghai.

Paul Ricard has hosted some great races in the '70s and '80s but it's probably not going to host a GP, it'll probably go to EuroDisney but then the drivers will complain about it being a Mickey Mouse circuit.

@Chet, Monaco doesn't have grandstands, they can just be put up the week leading to the GP.

Good bye Magny Cours. Le Mans, Bugatti Circuit??

Le Mans full circuit?!

From Autosport(the mag not web):

"Plans for a Paris street race have been dicarded due to bureaucratic difficulties needed to stage such an event, but Autosport understands that a site in nearby Orly (Ya Rly!) has been earmarked as the location for a temporary facility that could be activated on an annual basis and which could use the 'Paris GP' tag."

The wet race when HH Frentzen in the Jordan won on strategy. That was a good race!

that was in 1999, in this millenium, we didnt have an interesting race there.

What was the year that Montoya got really annoyed cos Ralph passed him in the pits?

EuroDisney?
The drivers are already complaining about too many of those Tilke -designed "Mickey Mouse" corners!
If Tilke designed Shanghai in the shape of the Chinese caracter for 'Shang', what's he going to do with this one?!

wtf? I 99, frentzen won in jordan, like I wrote up there. this thing with montoya and ralf was in 03, yes.

Yeah so imo the only two things interestin ever at Mangy Cours were a) 1999 when Frentzen won in the wet and b) 2003 when Montoya got his knickers in a twist over Ralphs early stop

Can anyone post a picture of eurodisney?? i don't know nothing about that track...

Back to basics... I feel like a newbie! hahahahaa!!!

it doesnt exists.

If the French GP moved to Paul Ricard, the race would be as boring as the Spanish GP. Teams also test a lot there.

Um dois três quatro cinco seis sete oito nove dez
Eins zwei drei vier fünf sechs sieben acht neun zehn
One two three four five six seven eight nine ten
Один два три четыре пять шесть семь восемь девять десять

but the track is better, than the one in spain.

dijon!


Jenson drives it like he owns it; Lewis drives it like he stole it

Too fast, laps in GP3 I've done are under 1 minute, in F1 they're BOUND to be under a minute, and traffic will be an issue. It's too fast and too short for F1, plus some of the corners look a little too fast and too dangerous for modern F1 standards. Might be good for testing though!

the other mildly interesting thing happened in '04 was when MS beat Alonso by doing 4 stops. frankly, he could have done 8 stops and still won, such was the superiority of the Bridgestone/Ferrari combo, so it's a bit fake.
