The '''French Grand Prix''' ('''''1906-1967:''' Grand Prix de l'ACF, '''1968-2022:''' Grand Prix de France'') was a race held as part of [[Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile]]'s (FIA) annual [[Formula One]] (F1) automobile racing championships.

Grand Prix [[Auto racing|motor racing]] started in France. The French Grand Prix was open to international competition. It is the oldest Grand Prix race. It was first run on 26 June 1906,  under the Automobile Club de France in [[Sarthe]]. The first race had a starting field of 32 automobiles.

== History ==
[[Image:Boillot-ACF-GP1912.jpg|thumb|left|Georges Boillot winning the 1912 French Grand Prix in Dieppe, France]]
The first World Championships were organized in 1925. It included the French Grand Prix, the [[Italian Grand Prix]], the [[Belgian Grand Prix]] and the [[Indianapolis 500]]. The French Grand Prix was part of the Formula One championships from their start in 1950. The last F1 Grand Prix was held in 2008. It was called the [[European Grand Prix]] four times between 1924 and 1966. During this time, the title was an honorary name. It was given to one grand prix race held in Europe each year

The race has been held at several [[Race track|racetracks]] in France, such as the [[Autodrome de Montlhéry]].  Since 1991 its permanent home was the [[Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours]] (often called just Magny-Cours). The move to Magny-Cours was an attempt to stimulate the economy of the area, but many within Formula One complained about the remote nature of the circuit.

On 29 March 2007 it was announced by the FFSA, the race promoter, that the 2008 French Grand Prix was put on an indefinite "pause". This suspension was due to the financial problems of the circuit. Many in F1 did not like the circuit because of the remote location.<ref>{{cite web|date=2007-03-29|title=French GP under threat for 2008|url=http://www.itv-f1.com/News_Article.aspx?PO_ID=38802|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080111144431/http://www.itv-f1.com/News_Article.aspx?PO_ID=38802|archive-date=2008-01-11|work=ITV-F1.com|publisher=|accessdate=2011-07-19|archiveurl=|archivedate=}}</ref> On 31 May, Bernie Ecclestone confirmed that the 2007 French Grand Prix would be the last to be held at Magny-Cours.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.itv-f1.com/News_Article.aspx?PO_ID=39446 |title=F1 will quit Magny-Cours after 2007 |date=2007-05-31 |accessdate=2011-07-19 |work=ITV-F1.com |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080228171141/http://www.itv-f1.com/News_Article.aspx?PO_ID=39446 |archivedate=2008-02-28 }}</ref>

After negotiations, the future of the race improved.
