  | Belgian GP officially cancelled  From: Racing-Live.com The FIA received the confirmation This year's Belgian Formula One Grand Prix has been called off because of track improvement works, the sport's governing body the FIA announced on Wednesday. The FIA and F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone have ordered the works which are expected to cost up to 20 million euros and include modifying the track, building new paddocks, a new control tower and more seating. One of the favourite races for drivers the Spa Francorchamps circuit is expected to be back on the F1 calendar in 2007. The FIA, in a statement, confirmed: “The Belgian National Sporting Authority, the RACB, has written to notify the FIA of the withdrawal of the 2006 Belgian Grand Prix from the FIA Formula One World Championship. “The withdrawal has been made in order to allow the completion of extensive improvement work to facilities at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit. “The FIA hopes that the event will be included once again in the Formula One World Championship calendar from 2007 onwards.” This year's race, about which doubts first surfaced last month in the Belgian press, was due to be staged on September 17. --------------------------------------------------- Fortunately, it's only due to track modifications... Pitty - because it's one of my favorite tracks...

| Re: Belgian GP officially cancelled It was only a matter of time with all the back-and-forth politics of the past few months... It's too bad, I love that track... and so do the drivers.
