French GP Is Back & At Paul Ricard !

I don't understand where the 'overly modern' comments are coming from? Its a 70's layout with Thruxton spec pit and paddock facilities?

Unless you mean the runoffs, but even they were used at Paul Ricard far before they were used at any GP circuit.
 
But its not all Bernie though. From the article it sounds like the promoter is the French government. They are paying Bernie the fee to host the race, and they will be paying the track owners (also Bernie) to hire the circuit. They will have to make some money somehow? At no point is Bernie 'paying himself'.
Ah, I didn't realise the French government were paying the race fees for this. In that case ignore everything I said - assuming you hadn't already :)
