No French GP in 2009
The French Motorsport Federation, the FFSA, announced today that it will not promote the French Grand Prix in 2009 and this due to financial difficulties. The French race was still included on the revised 2009 calendar, but as it is cancelled it leaves next season's calendar with only 17 races.
The FFSA declared in a statement: "For reasons related to the financial situation, the Federation Francaise du Sport Automobile (FFSA) has decided to cancel the Grand Prix of France.
"The FFSA would like to thank all customers who attended the Grand Prix of France and have supported this international event in recent years."
