Oct.17 (GMM) F1’s governing body says it is “gravely concerned” with the news that the promoter of the race at Magny Cours has cancelled the 2009 French grand prix

France’s motor racing federation FFSA this week said it will no longer back the event for financial reasons

A spokesman for the FIA, however, said the Federation Francaise du Sport Automobile did not notify them

“The FIA secretary general has written to the president of the FFSA today to seek an urgent clarification of the situation of the French grand prix,” he is quoted as saying by Reuters

“Up until today we have heard nothing and we are gravely concerned.”n
