Sorry, but what's A1? :confused:

WOW, there are some great drivers in there, both young talents, as experienced drivers. And I think The Netherlands has a big chance of winning at least one race:)

Team Boss: Ronaldo
Team Boss: Luis Figo

LMAO:D They have too much money probably:p

A1 is a good idea.
It provides a platform for new talent.
It fills the void between (F1, WRC) seasons.
All cars are equivalent (and beatiful), shifting the focus away from tech and into driving skills.
Competition and passion comes from nationalities, rather than individuals (much like Davis Cup where you have unexpected results due to courage and national pride, and the public support).
I hope it´s succesful.

I just found out i'm going to the first A1 race at Brands Hatch..so I'll definitely take the camera lol!

Team Boss: Ronaldo
Team Boss: Luis Figo


They are just amazing... They have the money, the fame, the power and the fun. Did anyone watch Real Madrid vs MLS all stars? They got PWNED!!!


anyway, I never watched this A1 but I guess it looks pretty fun.

I think myself, and my boss, and some other colleagues are gonna go down to the race too, its worth while, and its close :)

I think this is a great idea, good for national pride. Not to mention it adds another alternative for extremely patriotic people to NOT watch NASCAR.

who invented nascar anyway? I would rather watch commercials rather than that.

nascar was just a bunch of rednecks modifying their cars back in the 50's and racing them, hence the term stockcar racing. thats basically how nascar got started, give or take a couple details.


this is gonna be pretty kool. cant wait for the first race. ill be going to the A1 GP race in Laguna Seca, so I Cant Wait For That!

What? You're going to a race where they race formula cars:eek: Thats impossible:p

Erind of course you haven't watched it lol

MOrning!!! Wats up all!! ill be there to watch in SA

Howzit boet! Welcome, finally another fellow S.African!

How much are the Jhb tickets?

wow crazy, i bet this will be crazy intense
Just like Super GT
cars going tail to tail, more crashes, more intensity

Just a few hours till the first official training at Brands Hatch.

I so cant wait to see the races sunday:) If F1 and A1 race at the same time(not sure yet) I'll be watching A1

EDIT: Just checked the times and F1 is in the evening(Brazil, I should have know that:rolleyes: ...)

I've read there was going to be a Greek team too, but I don't have any info on the progress of this...

i can't wait...i really hope it doesn't rain 'cos it's gonna be freezing otherwise

the question mark could be greece??? maybe maybe not

I've read there was going to be a Greek team too, but I don't have any info on the progress of this...

pretty sure, I read there was a team from Greece.

Will this be broadcasted in the States?

^^^^
same question for Australia, Hopefully not at 2am in the morning like the formula 1

Yeah, same for here to. No only the die hard fans with satelite TV can watch the F1 live, or watch a repeat at midnite sunday... not fun if you gotta be up 3hrs later for work/ college.

Im really looking forward to the first race, hope its on TV at a sensible hour!

Luckily I can see it live:D At a nice time: Sprintrace: 14:25, Race: 15:45. Only three hours left, cant wait:cool:

where is the first race being held?

Brands Hatch GBR been and gone now..looking forward to Portugal
