French senate backs new F1 circuit project

Click for full-size.

The French Senate has approved a bill amendment giving permission for the construction of a formula one circuit near Paris, the sports daily L'Equipe said.

The move, initiated by a group of four senators, is designed to fast-track preparations and overcome bureaucratic obstacles for a French grand prix in 2011 at Flins-sur-Seine, in the department of Yvelines, about a forty minute drive from the French capital.

France, although an historic home of grand prix racing, will not feature on the 2009 or 2010 calendars following the demise of the Magny-Cours event as well as the alternate project at Disneyland Paris.

"If the construction and organisation is conducted in a timely manner, it is possible that a grand prix can be held in France from 2011," the senators said.

They argued successfully that returning to the F1 calendar should be part of France's recovery from the economic situation.

Still pending is a major financial sponsor for the project, and the approval of F1's Bernie Ecclestone and the governing FIA, L'Equipe pointed out.

It is also suggested that while supported by prime minister Francois Fillon, the project is opposed by many individuals and local stakeholders, who staged a protest last weekend.

Pierre Bedier, president du conseil of Yvelines, however, has already established a support committee for the project, entitled 'Yvelines F1 -- La vallee de l'automobile' (Valley Automobile).

Glad to know FIA scratched the rule...once that happened it won't be added next year ether, cause there will just be another uproar...ESPECIALLY if the driver that wins the most races doesn't win the most points...

So this year...where we liming to take in a race peeps?

Hey Guys,

Fantastic Thread.

Set your calendars: SpeedTV, Sunday 29th March 4PM (Pre-Show), 4:30PM - Aussie Grand Prix. Just be aware that SpeedTV will be doing a Black-out of coverage, so i guess its Online TV FTW.

Additionally, can we agree to have an f1 lime some time in the season?

Anybody here interested in having a serious discussion about the 2009 season???

My pick for the top three wud be:

Alonso, Massa, Hamilton.

In any order. With Kimi somewhwere on the outside.

I think Alonso goin to pull his act together and do it or at least come really close.
Real sorry he didnt go Ferrari.

Kimmi,Massa,Alonso

McLaren looking slow this year

worksux101 · Posted: Wed Mar 25, 2009 1:04 am Post subject:

^They looked slow last year as well at the start...then got going...so i won't rule them out...
Hard to guess a top 3 form now, but my guess would be Kimi Massa and Hammi...with Alonso maybe for any of them...
Renault doesn't seem to be a powerhouse, but they apppear to really have the new tech rules going for them, such as the KERS...

Peds good read on Kubica here
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/7958683.stm

I talked to a Polish guy up here he talked about how the entire country supports his and is passionate about him.
you could see the pride in the man face as he spoke or it could have been the alcho Laughing

Rasta, ent dem drop de points system an it now back to de old scoring rules. I think de drivers all opposed the move and therefore it was abandoned sometime last week...

I backing Massa, Alonso and Kubica...

KERS should make things interesting on straights and for some skilled drivers out of corners. Can't wait for this weekend, are we getting live coverage on Speed?
