Magny-Cours, then?

I saw on BBC Text yesterday morning that the owners of Magny-Cours have
agreed with Bernie that there won't be a French GP in 2004 - apparently they
can't afford to put it on. The race will be back there for 2005 (worse
luck).

I thought Bernie /owned/ Magny-Cours? <grin>

Not sure what this will mean, exactly. Is this an opening for another
circuit to bid for 2004, or will Bernie have the race moved to his very own
Paul-Ricard?
