Which Grand Prix are we likely to lose for 2006 and the next couple of years?
well with the season as long as it has ever been and many countries wanting to join the Championship! Means that we are more than likely to lose some Grand prix. So who are the most likely candidates? Imola? Brazil? I think silverstone i most probabaly safe for the next few years! So who do you think we are most likely to lose and why?

Hopefully Imola and Nurburgring.
USA must be a doubt, although I suspect it'll stay. |

I don't see the USA in doubt - it got plenty of publicity to raise awareness of the sport this year.

I agree with Knowlesy.With Ferrari and TGF on a downward slope,demand for two German and two Italian Gps will not be there.It's a shame MS and Ferrari aren't Hungarian.

Likewise, I think Imola is in real danger. With Mercedes, BMW and the Schumachers continuing to be involved, and if Heidfeld can continue to shine, I think the 'Ring may be safe for the moment. Magny-Cours's future must be shaky, especially with no French drivers on the grid.

The reason why the Nurburgring holds a race because it is a great event, popular, and run very well, and Imola is smiliar and has history behind it. |

I suspect it won't be long before we see alternation with some of the venues (for instance, one year at the Ring the other at Imola, etc.).

Yeah, as it is the European Grand Prix it would be nice to alternate it each season, infact why not hold a second race in Spain, that would be popular, then the next year maybe a race at the A1-Ring again, they would offer a lot of money and as with Spain they big F1 fans, then the next year maybe to Brno...

But can a circuit afford the expense of staging a GP in return for revenue every other year? If so, it would be great to see a few alternating pairs, but I have my doubts.

It would, but I think few would mourn the loss of Magny-Cours per se.

From a historical perspective, losing the GP of britain would be appalling. That never guaranteed its place.
History no longer holds precedence in track selection. |

There was never any danger of Britain losing its Grand Prix.
There's an FIA rule that Britain, France and Italy must have a grand prix anyway |

As with all FIA rules, there will be acres of grey area.

...but, if this rule requires unanimity to change it, those GPs are safe.
