Save the Spa-Francorchamps Grand Prix

If you support this great circuit I think you should sign so that it will be kept into the calendar. http://www.defendonsfrancorchamps.be/sign-petition-track-circuit-racing-track-spa-francorchamps.html Let's save this great Grand Prix!! Thank you very much for your support =)

But that's all we can do to help (at least me) and we dont lose anything for doing so... don't you think?

It doesn't logically make sense since it sells tickets well, doesn't it? I'd like to drive on Spa-Francorchamps with an STI someday...

Sadly attendance at Spa has been down around the 50,000 mark the past few years with promoters claiming they would need at least 70,000 to break even. I think this past year they posted a loss of just about 5 million euros. Each grand prix promoter has to pay the FIA a ridiculous sum of money for the prestige of hosting an F1 event, then on top of that a lot of the ticket sales revenue and so on also goes to the FIA. The way it is all done is quite stupid, makes it almost impossible to make money off hosting a grand prix.

That's very unfortunate that F1 has to be this complicated, but I guess that's what makes F1 the way it is...
