Let's not forget that, in 2005, Turkey will be added, and it will also be a non-tobacco race.
I also think it's high time they sh*t-can the "Grand Prix of Europe". They nix Montreal, but Germany and Italy still carry two races. |

Latest news is that some of the teams are petitioning to have France dropped and Canada added back. Williams for one is pretty upset (they of course have no tobacco sponsors) that Montreal (a great city) has been dropped yet Magny Cours (country side track) is still in despite France's anti-tobacco legislation. |

You will need a RV for France. No hotels nearby. Thanks to Mitterand... |

Nope, no Canada GP next year, it has since been replaced by Indy. I had the chance to go this year and instead went to Maui. Now I'm kicking myself. What a shame. |

hmm. No Canada. I guess thats final then, they aren't budging on the tobacco laws. I didn't know they were considering the same action for Belgium. They gotta give it a rest! |
