The Belgian Grand Prix is OFF

Looks like the 2006 Formula 1 season will not feature the most exciting circuit of all, The Spa Francorchamps. FIA it seems wanted an improvement in the paddock area but the local authorities couldn't promise to get it done before the summer. Whatever be the reason it's the fans who have been denied the adrenalin rush Spa brings. Spa, which is widely agreed to be the toughest track on the F1 calender, features F1 toughest corner, the Eau Rouge. Located in a region that is called the 'Pisspot of Europe', Spa has produced more wet races that any other circuit. Infact at one stage in it's history it had rained at the Belgian Grand Prix for twenty years in a row.
Spa is known to demand great character from drivers, and guess who has the fondest memories of Spa, yes, Michael Schumacher. The phenomenon F1 lovers worldwide call Michael Magic began here in 1991, when Michael, a last minute replacement for Bertand Gachot, qualified seventh in a Jordan ahead of his team-mate. Next year he won his first race here with Benneton. He won his 52nd race to go past Alain Prost's record of 51 wins at Spa. He won his seventh world title at Spa. The infamous 1998 Belgian Grand Prix will be remembered for the massive crash involving 13 cars in first corner.
As a fan all I hope is that FIA and the local authorities together work out a solution and that Spa will be back for the 2007 season.
