No F1 French GP in 2004
The 2004 french GP at Magny-Cours will be cancelled due to lack of funds. The GP was losing money for the past two years, and they can't afford Ecclestone this year. It should be back for 2005, though.
I'd post a link to an article, but I got the info off of french Yahoo.

That's strange. When I was at the '02 magny-cours gp, it was absolutely packed with people everywhere. The only problem I noticed is the poor access to and from the track. It makes for quite a traffic jam when there's like 1 way in and out of that place. If it's skipped for a year, I bet it would be included in the following calendar year because that's a great facility they have there, and a great track that allows passing in F1. (IM me that article if you still have it, thanks.)
Apparently, the thing is that the local track can only rely on ticket sales to make any money. Bernie E. pretty much gets all the profits from advertising, etc.
