Woe there. It's not confirmed, all that are confirma are the dates (from what I've read). Nice to think it would be though. Seems like it may be 'for one year only'

The FIA have only confirmed the dates... although there is a 'fake' calender going around based on nowt more than educated guesses.

That's OK, but I thought it was so important that it should have it's own thread!

Here is Autosport's take on this:

I think there is a problem with Autosport prediction of the British GP.

Last week the 2004 BTCC cal came out with a support race to the British GP on July 11th. Autosport predicts that the British GP will be on the 25th July.

Both dates are on the cal as having GP's so something isn't quite right.

I think the guesses were thrown together quickly. They probably just guessed a July date and as this years is on the 30th I suppose they quickly thought the 25th was closer!

There is word of Spa replacing Imola on the calendar next year.
The political party's will vote again in the near future about the outlawed tabacco advertising.
Looks pretty good because the only party's against tobacco advertising were the Green party's and they got hammered at the last elections.

And ditch the European Grand Prix for the South African GP at Kyalami.

Then we have races in North America, South America, Europe, Australasia, Middle East and Africa.

Unfortuantly I'm not sure Kyalami is up for it anymore. There has been too much development around there.

Hopefully they've come to their senses & re-instated the best track in F1 back on the calendar.

Isn't this years British GP on the 20th?

**Stephen Green** · 26 Jun 2003, 11:28 (Ref:643611)

Yes it is on the 20th this year but in past years it has been closer to 13th July. According to Reuters it is only the start and finish dates of the calender that have been released and that the series will be 17 races again next year. There are no dates for specific GP's nor where they are to be held released yet.

Ha! Excellent, so in conclusion, we know very little!

Exactly Adam. If anything else comes out I'll post it.

Bring back Spa! Bring back Spa! Bring back Spa!
The petiton starts here

I hope Spa comes back....great circuit. I'm not sure how the tobacco advertising ban will effect it's future though.
