French senate supports Paris F1 plan

The French senate has approved plans to allow the building of a new F1 circuit in the Yvelines area near Paris in a bid to bring the sport back to the country after the French Grand Prix at Magny Cours was abandoned.

The approval came as part of wider works to revive the economy in the Yvelines area, whih has been hit hard in recent years because it is dependent so much on the automotive industry.Construction is due to be complete in time to bring F1 back to the country in the 2011 season.
