Ecclestone 'pulls plug' on Spa GP

[MaineDem]

This was always one of my favorite tracks. Love the bus stop and Eau Rouge.


The Belgian Grand Prix at Spa has been cancelled after Bernie Ecclestone pulled out of a bid to try to promote the race, say reports in Belgium.

Formula One chief Ecclestone had been in talks to take over promoting the race after its promoters went bankrupt.

A former local government minister told politicians that sources close to Ecclestone had confirmed the news.

1. i like the massive 57-78 configuration..

been running it all week in my Gran Prix Legends GP69 mod. Nothing like balling through the Masta Kink at 150MPH!

2. One of my favorite courses behind the Nordschleife and Suzuka

Anyone know what will be scheduled in its place ?

3. If there was anyone I wish would drop dead

(and could say so openly) it would be Ecclestone. Him or Tony (coke-snorting fortunate dim-bulb son) George.

Edit--(that's Tony George Chief dipshit of the Indy Racing League, and, shit-for-brains in charge of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Nothing to do with any other person named George either first name or last! Whether they snorted coke or not)
