With Magny Cours already off next season's calendar it seems that may also drop off the F1 radar. Of course, next season's German GP is scheduled for the Nurburgring, alternating as it does with Hockenheim. While not the prettiest of circuits, hockenheim has an amazing atmosphere and a breathtakingly fast start-finish straight culminating in a 90 degree first corner. Sitting at this corner, watching the cars literally sly with all four wheels off the ground left me speechless. Now the circuit is facing financial ruin; its contract ends in 2010 and, without government fiscal support, justification for another race will be difficult. Crying shame.
