The organisers of the 2003 Spa Ferrari Days meeting, scheduled for 25-27 April, have notified us that they have CANCELLED all the races at the event.

As a result, not only have the double header PMFC rounds had to be cancelled but also the European 360 Challenge and Shell Historic races.

The reason appears to be the withdrawal of support from the Belgian telecoms sponsor combined with a sudden increase (+30%) of the circuit charges as a result of the removal from the FIA calendar of the Belgian Grand Prix.

A last minute appeal for financial assistance from Ferrari SpA was, we are told, not forthcoming.

Garage Francorchamps may still hold a track day event at the circuit on the 27th April for Ferraris and Maseratis.
