F1 News of interest: Bye Bye Austria
http://www.itv-f1.com/news/news_story/14007
According to this report this will be the last year at the Austrian GP, partly due to the whole tobacco thing that killed Spa. and bernie hints that it is not the last European round that will go in the next couple of years! Bernie's comment: "In 2004 we're racing in Shanghai and Bahrain, 2005 in Istanbul, then in Russia. It's possible that we then only have five or six races in central Europe," Also, there is a rumor that F1 is dropping Australia, has anyone heard this?

Bernie's evil. EVIL, I TELL YA!
Now, if F1 abandons Europe, could we maybe see a Champcar Euroseries? Same rules, different schedule, with some marquee races that the top competitors from both series would race in? Last edited by Lee Janotta; 28 Jan 2003 at 05:56. |

Well I feel for the Austrians one way, and in another I think they've been saved wasting some of their money on that stuff.
I dont think they'd drop Australia... |

If they drop Australia, that is it, I will never watch Formula One ever again. I am already close to turning off - I finally got over the loss of Spa and Hockenheim (yes, there is a race at a track called Hockenheim, but it doesn't deserve the name), and was actually starting to look forward to the new season...then the FIA drops this on us....

Wonder how long they'll be running in Canada? No tobaccy advertising after October 1, 2003. Forsythe will need different livery for the final round of the season, because Players will be no more.
