Magny-Cours Gets Update
The circuit of the French Grand Prix at Magny-Cours is to get a three million euro ($3.6 million) facelift following a decision taken by the regional authorities in the Nievre region.
Work will start immediately to bring the circuit into conformity with Formula One standards to host grand prix events and also the World Superbikes world championships.
“It’s to bring the circuit into line with standard regulations,” Gerard Dumas, president of the company which runs the circuit, said.
“The program for our work for this year corresponds at the same time to the technical, visual and needs of comfort.”
Work will be finished by the end of March with the circuit set to host the 11th of the 19-leg world championship series on July 16.

Isn’t it ironic, the French are doing up the circuit, Renault will surely pull out of F1 in the near future & there is not a French driver on the F1 grid.
Oh BTW, Hi Marc, I came over to have a look from FM.
