According to Kubla, there is not enough time to build a new paddock ahead of this summer's race and that is the main reason the Grand Prix will not be held.

Kubla thinks the government reacted too late. "They left the it until the last moment. They made things worse and started negotiations for a new contract, while that was not the main problem."

Kubla also said the government should start working now, to make sure the Belgian Grand Prix is back on the calendar in 2007

what exactlys wrong with the paddock ? F1's all wrong these days !

Good idea, then I could attend the 6H meeting, as it stands now I've to give it a miss again.

To me any car older than 25 years qualifies as a Historic car.

bringing Spa 6 hour forward is a good idea . . . .it starts getting cold there later in the year !
