None.
Spa Francorchamps in Belgium did not appear in the calendar of 2003 due to the banning of Tobacco sponsorship in Belgium, and missed a few in the 70's when the Belgian GP was moved to the Nivelles circuit, whilst Spa was rebuilt due to safety concerns over it's 14km lap.

No European track was left off the 2006 calendar `for the first time in 50 years.'
True, Spa-Francorchamps wasn't on the 2006 calendar, but not for the first time. There was no Formula One Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps or Belgian Grand Prix in 1957, 1959, 1969, 1971 and 2003.
The 1972 and 1974 Belgian Grands Prix were held at Nivelles, and Zolder hosted the race in 1973, from 1975 to 1982 and 1984.

The European grand prix that was dropped from this year's calender was the Belgian grand prix.
However it is by no means the first itme in 50 years that Spa hasn't been used.
There were no Belgian grand prixs in 1957, 1959, 1969, 1971 or 2003.
In addition Spa hasn't always been used for the Belgian grand prix. In 1973, from 1975-1982 and in 1984, the Belgian grand prix was held at Zolder.
In fact no circuit has held a grand prix every single year of formula 1. Only the British grand prix has ben held every year, and that has been split between 3 circuits.
The circuit to be used in the most years is Monaco, which apart from 1951 to 1954 has held a grand prix every year since the start of F1.

There are no circuits that have held a Grand Prix for 50 years consecutively except Monaco - Spa was last missed in 2003.

Spa, Belgium. It is Schumacher’s most favorite circuit. Nice to see racing on this track in 2007 season.

Spa in Belgium. Probabbly one of the best and fastest road courses in the world. Too bad hey!?
