Looks like the Belgian GP will be cancelled for 2006. It looks as though the GP will return in 07, but who knows for sure. What a bummer, that is one of the best circuits in all of F1.

With the race's promoter broke, Ecclestone, 75, had been tipped to take over the organisation of Spa's historic event.
But while the 2007 Grand Prix should be okay, Ecclestone is reportedly refusing to sanction the September race because work on a new pit and paddock complex will not be completed in time for the event.
There has been no official comment from the FIA which lists the Grand Prix as taking place on 17th September.
