French Grand Prix back on F1 calendar from 2018
Print Edition
THE French Grand Prix will return to the Formula One calendar in 2018 after a 10-year absence.
Christian Estrosi, the head of the Provence-Alpes-Cote d’Azur region, said yesterday that the race will be organized at the Paul Ricard circuit in southern France. The world’s oldest grand prix was first held in 1906 but was dropped from the calendar in 2008 because of financial issues. The Paul Ricard circuit, also known as Le Castellet, last hosted the French GP in 1990. The race was organized at Magny-Cours from 1991-2008. Estrosi said French officials have sealed a five-year deal with F1 organizers. Financial terms were not disclosed. The announcement came just days after the German Grand Prix was dropped from the 2017 calendar.
