Organisers of the European Grand Prix at Valencia are desperately trying to offload the race contract to an alternate host, according to a report in Spanish newspaper El Periodico.
The newspaper claims regional president Francisco Camps has determined that the city cannot afford the annual fee and organisation costs. At the grand prix in June, he reportedly asked Bernie Ecclestone if Valencia's contract - with four years left to run - can be broken, to which the F1 chief executive "flatly refused".
The report said the organisers are spending €30 million on the race annually, including an €18 million fee to Ecclestone's group and the cost of building and de-constructing the street circuit. Only €10 million is covered by the sale of tickets and attendances have fallen from a high of 112,000 in 2008 to 75,00 this season.

Now that we have a German WDC again, would Nurburg and Hockenheim be viable to hold same year like in the early 2000s?
The French still need a GP too

The Belgians don't give a toss about F1 either, this is less about local interest and more about upholding history.Now that the 908FAPFAPFAP is winning at La Sarthe you think the French still care about F1?

Bernie Ecclestone attacked, robbedEmail Print Comments69 Associated Press
LONDON -- Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone suffered a minor head injury when he was attacked outside his London office this week and robbed of jewelry worth $314,000.
The 80-year-old Ecclestone was treated at a hospital after being punched and kicked by four men following his arrival at the offices of Formula One Holdings on Wednesday night, London Police said Friday.
Ecclestone was released from the hospital.
Police are investigating but no arrests had been made.
Police said Ecclestone was accompanied by a woman, identified in British media reports as his Brazilian girlfriend, Fabiana Flosi, at the time of the attack around 10:30 p.m.
Earlier this month, Ecclestone complained there were not enough police officers on the streets of London.
"Normally like in America or anywhere you go, there are people getting mugged," Ecclestone said. "In London, it's a funny thing, you know. It's surprising in Oxford Street the number of people that get mugged there hourly.
"We should have more police there."
Ecclestone made the comments in response to an attempted attack on Formula One driver Jenson Button in Sao Paolo ahead of the Brazilian Grand Prix, suggesting that robbers go after people who look vulnerable.
"They look for victims, they look for anyone that looks like a soft touch and not too bright," Ecclestone said. "The people that look a bit soft and simple, they will always have a go at."
Button's driver had to swerve out of a traffic jam to dodge an attempted robbery by heavily armed gunmen approaching the armored car.
