There's nothing about it on the F1 website. If it's true though, that'd be weird. I figured the Australian GP would get the axe if any of them did. I seem to remember hearing that it was costing Australia like $12 million dollars to host the race, so it's not exactly a money maker. 
According to Race Tech, Magny Cours has two years to get its act together or it will be canceled. But F1 won't be returning to Imola and the British GP is moving to Donington in 2010, which probably means the end of the British GP because Donington has to do a massive number of upgrades including changes to the road system around there. Someone slap the f@#k out of that old idiot. (Bernie Ecclestone) 
The F1 practice broadcast on Speed just said that the F1 GP in France has been cancelled. Looks like it's true? 
I swear Ecclestone wants to keep F1 in the Middle East and Asia.

He probably does
There's no Canadian GP this next year either.
I'm going to miss Silverstone or Silverston as the announcers pronounce it.
What is that useless P.O.S. thinking? Why is he trying to kill F1? I mean no race at Magny Cours, Imola or Circuit Giles Villeneuve. The Canadian GP was the third most watched sporting event in 2005. It can't have dropped below the popularity of say Bahrain or something like that. Although the French GP wasn't Ecclsetone's fault. It was canceled by the French Federation because of financial problems. So we lose three very storied circuits from the F1 calendar and as a replacement we get Abu Dhabi. WTF?!? Oh yeah, the British GP is on the same weekend as Wimbledon.
He's just following the money!
How many fans are going to go to the Abu Dhabi GP honestly? And why put the British GP at the same time as Wimbledon? How does that help the money?
I think the French govt. canceled it, not Bernie. he wants too much money!
