[Brogan]

Now for some good news...Spa has been confirmed on the calendar until 2015.

I think most people would agree that's a good thing.

That's great 'cause my dad and I are thinking of going to Spa or to the German GP next year

Oh no, another of these non Tilke modified circuits on the calendar, these old traditional high speed circuits are all boring me. We need more of the new circuits like Abu Dhabi or Bahrain!

Frankly if I were Bernie I would have paid the organisers for the race. I'm just glad both parties noticed that everyone loves Spa!!

Article by Joe Saward on the deal.

This is probably quite interesting: (from the article)
"The Formula One group has to ensure a certain number of historic races are included on the F1 calendar and Spa is apparently deemed to be one of them".

Is it just me or does this sound a little ominous?

That's only 4 F1 races at Spa then who knows?

Only Silverstone really has a long-term contract though - I think most races run out in 2016.

 

[Speshal]

Hopefully there'll be a new head of FOM by then

Bernie will be around for a good 20 years yet...

I've heard that when his body gives out Bernie's going to have his brain transfered into one of his daughters to keep running the business.
