The '''French Grand Prix''' ('''''1906-1967:''' Grand Prix de l'ACF, '''1968-2008:''' Grand Prix de France'') was a race held as part of [[Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile]]'s annual [[Formula One]] automobile racing championships. | |||
[[Grand Prix motor racing]] originated in France and the French Grand Prix, open to international competition, is the oldest Grand Prix race, first run on 26 June 1906 under the auspices of the [[Automobile Club de France]] in Sarthe, with a starting field of 32 automobiles. | |||
The first World Championships were organized in 1925 with the French Grand Prix, the [[Italian Grand Prix]], the [[Belgian Grand Prix]] and the [[Indianapolis 500]]. The French Grand Prix has been part of the [[Formula One]] championships since their inception in 1950. The race has been held at various racetracks throughout France, such as the [[Autodrome de Montlhéry]]. Since 1991 its permanent home was the [[Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours]]. The move to Magny-Cours was an attempt to stimulate the economy of the area, but many within Formula One complained about the remote nature of the circuit. | |||
The 2004 and 2005 races were in doubt because of financial problems and the addition of new circuits to the Formula One calendar. These races went ahead as planned, but it still had an uncertain future. | |||
On 29 March 2007 it was announced by the FFSA, the race promoter, that the 2008 French Grand Prix was put on an indefinite "pause". This suspension was due to the financial situation of the circuit, known to be disliked by many in [[F1]] due to the circuit's location.<ref>[http://www.itv-f1.com/News_Article.aspx?PO_ID=38802 ITV-F1.com] 2008 French Grand Prix "Pause"</ref> On 31 May, Bernie Ecclestone confirmed (at the time) that the [[2007 French Grand Prix]] would be the last to be held at Magny-Cours.<ref>[http://www.itv-f1.com/News_Article.aspx?PO_ID=39446 ITV-F1.com] Ecclestone Confirms Magny Cours Departure</ref> | |||
However, after various negotiations, the future of the race at Magny-Cours took another turn, with increased speculation that the 2008 French Grand Prix would return, with Ecclestone himself stating "We're going to maybe resurrect it for a year, or something like that".<ref>[http://www.itv-f1.com/News_Article.aspx?PO_ID=40169 ITV-F1.com] Magny-Cours set for reprieve</ref> On 24 July, Ecclestone and the French Prime Minister met and agreed to possibly maintain the race at Magny Cours for 2008 and 2009.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/6913778.stm BBC Sport] Formula One hope for French Grand Prix</ref> The change in fortune was completed on 27 July, when the FIA published the {{F1|2008}} calendar with a 2008 French Grand Prix scheduled at Magny-Cours once again.<ref>{{cite news| title =FIA reveals 18-race calendar for 2008| publisher =formula1.com| url =http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2007/7/6548.html| date =27 July 2007| accessdate =27 July 2007}}</ref> The 2009 race, however, was again cancelled on 15 October 2008, with the official website citing "economic reasons".<ref>http://www.gpfrancef1.com/</ref> A huge makeover of Magny-Cours ("2.0") was planned <ref>[http://www.grandprix.com/ns/ns20474.html grandprix.com June 19 2008]</ref><ref>[http://www.automobilsport.com/race-categories--24,7855,Magny-Cours-2-Projet-de-modernisation-standardisation-du-Circuit-de-Nevers-Magny-Cours,news.htm automobilsport.comautomobilsport.com June 20 2008]</ref>, but cancelled in the end. The race's promoter FFSA then started looking for an alternative host.

The French Grand Prix (1906-1967: Grand Prix de l'ACF, 1968-2008: Grand Prix de France) was a race held as part of Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile's annual Formula One automobile racing championships.
Grand Prix motor racing originated in France and the French Grand Prix, open to international competition, is the oldest Grand Prix race, first run on 26 June 1906 under the auspices of the Automobile Club de France in Sarthe, with a starting field of 32 automobiles.
The first World Championships were organized in 1925 with the French Grand Prix, the Italian Grand Prix, the Belgian Grand Prix and the Indianapolis 500. The French Grand Prix has been part of the Formula One championships since their inception in 1950. The race has been held at various racetracks throughout France, such as the Autodrome de Montlhéry. Since 1991 its permanent home was the Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours. The move to Magny-Cours was an attempt to stimulate the economy of the area, but many within Formula One complained about the remote nature of the circuit.
The 2004 and 2005 races were in doubt because of financial problems and the addition of new circuits to the Formula One calendar. These races went ahead as planned, but it still had an uncertain future.
On 29 March 2007 it was announced by the FFSA, the race promoter, that the 2008 French Grand Prix was put on an indefinite "pause". This suspension was due to the financial situation of the circuit, known to be disliked by many in F1 due to the circuit's location.<ref>ITV-F1.com 2008 French Grand Prix "Pause"</ref> On 31 May, Bernie Ecclestone confirmed (at the time) that the 2007 French Grand Prix would be the last to be held at Magny-Cours.<ref>ITV-F1.com Ecclestone Confirms Magny Cours Departure</ref>
However, after various negotiations, the future of the race at Magny-Cours took another turn, with increased speculation that the 2008 French Grand Prix would return, with Ecclestone himself stating "We're going to maybe resurrect it for a year, or something like that".<ref>ITV-F1.com Magny-Cours set for reprieve</ref> On 24 July, Ecclestone and the French Prime Minister met and agreed to possibly maintain the race at Magny Cours for 2008 and 2009.<ref>BBC Sport Formula One hope for French Grand Prix</ref> The change in fortune was completed on 27 July, when the FIA published the 2008 calendar with a 2008 French Grand Prix scheduled at Magny-Cours once again.<ref>{{#if: FIA reveals 18-race calendar for 2008
