The FIA has written to the French motorsport federation (FFSA) to request clarification on the future of the French Grand Prix. The latter was canceled in 2009.
The FFSA released a press statement on Tuesday stating that it did not wish to continue promoting the event. As a result, the race scheduled at Magny-Cours on June 28, 2009, has been canceled.
The board of directors has not yet been officially informed of the situation. A letter has therefore been written to the president of the FFSA, Nicolas Deschaux, asking for explanations regarding the FFSA’s position.
A spokesperson for the FIA stated: « The secretary-general of the FIA wrote today to the president of the FFSA asking to clarify the situation of the French Grand Prix as soon as possible. »
« Until today, we have heard nothing and we are concerned. »
The FFSA is considering six options for a future return of Formula 1 to the country. One in the Yvelines, Magny-Cours 2, and four other possibilities near Paris with Gonesse, Domaine de Ferrières, Disney Marne la Vallée, and Sarcelles.
