    that is true i suppose - i wasn't thinking about that - i imagine they'd move a domestic event if offered the gp as a replacement though.

    A couple of years ago our club felt we had a firm contract with a
    local track, and we had paid for it. Then months later they told
    us that we were cancelled and a big national series was in.
    We said you can not do that. They said yes we can. They claimed
    the contact said they could. We could not see any way the contract
    allowed it, they said it did.
    Considered suing,,, but then had to think better of it.
    They did try to give us good dates the next year.....

    But anyway, more to the point of F1 in 2023 and Imola,
    I am fairly sure they will just skip it, 22 is plenty
    of races and trying to shoehorn in a forced change
    would be difficult.
