Thread: A1GP 2006 Developments

A1GP is not really receiving as much coverage as maybe its organizers had hoped. The idea is extremely interesting, but I've not had a chance yet to see an A1GP race.

At the moment though, France is leading in the championship standings, with only one race to go.

Top 6

France (153 Points)
Switzerland (121 Points)
Great Britain (73 Points)
Brazil (70 Points)
Netherlands (69 Points)
New Zealand (64 Points)

I really hope Switzerland can make it in the last race, although it's not vert realistic

I hope Britain can keep third :shock:

Originally, I really thought we can win it, but some bad luck and not really great drivers prevented us from winning in the end. On to next year :wink:

The first season of A1GP is now over. France was able to keep its lead and win the championship title.

Top 6

1. France (172 Points)
2. Switzerland (121 Points)
3. Great Britain (97 Points)
4. New Zealand (77 Points)
5. Malaysia (74 Points)
6. Brazil (71 Points)

8)

Would Jenson Button be better for great Britain than he is for Honda haha, he can only blame the car for so many races. The idiot.

After the first two races it doesn't really look good for the three countries that filled the championship podium last season.

I really like the concept of A1GP, I just wish I had a channel I could watch it on

Go Switzerland!

Jo you got it aaallll wrong!

Go Britain

Jo / The kimaster you have both got it wrong.

Go New Zealand

What a mess the last round in China was. The track was too narrow for passing, qualifying got aborted for problems with a manhole cover, the hairpin was too tight, the track had to be shortened for safety reasons. I'm sure I've missed some of the problems.

It made the A1GP looked like a third rate event.

That was a fiasco, I can't believe this actually happened. Somebody really messed up there, and A1GP officials will probably look at the issue very critically, because this is the reputation-buildup phase for the series!

Last I heard was that viewing figures were steadliy increasing, so let's hope that continues because I think the concept has a lot of potential

I've never even heard of this series - must not be getting too much publicity, but it sounds like an interesting concept. Looking at the states, I'm not too sure how much competition there was - was there more than the points would indicate?
