The French Grand Prix is set to remain on the Formula One calendar after the French Motor Sports Federation confirmed they have made an application for France to host a round in next year's championship.
The FFSA are responsible for organising the event and their contract runs until 2011, but the future of the race was thrown into doubt due to the location of the Magny-Cours circuit.
But FFSA president Nicolas Deschaux said in a statement: "I've anticipated the decision of the FFSA General Assembly by confirming the entry of the French Grand Prix on the 2009 FIA Formula One World Championship calendar.
"Of course the (FFSA) general assembly, which will meet on Thursday, will have to confirm this decision and also determine the future of the French Grand Prix from 2010 onwards."
