The French Grand Prix was a regular feature of the annual Formula One race calendar for many, many years, initially between 1906-1967 and then between 1968-2008.
The Grand Prix moved to the Circuit de Nevers Magny Cours in 1991, where it continued till the last French Grand Prix in 2008. From 2004 onwards, the race started running into trouble with mounting financial problems. In spite of those issues, the 2004 and 2005 races went ahead as planned, but problems continued to persist.
In March 2007, the FFSA, the promoter of the race, announced that the race had been put on an indefinite hold. Later that May, Bernie Ecclestone confirmed that the 2007 French Grand Prix would be the last to be held at Magny-Cours.
