A1 Grand Prix
« on: March 15, 2005, 06:23:44 pm »
what the hell is this all about? 25 drivers representing their country whilst driving identical cars supplied by lola. ronaldo, the footballer with obviously vast motorsport knowledge, owns the brazilian team. luis figo, similarly, owns the portugese team. the series starts in september at brands hatch, but so far they havent organised any more races.

this sounds laughable to be honest...

Money pit... questionable concept and poor marketing. It's the first time I heared of it actually taking place.  ;D  The least we want is a Lorrari in Bayer-München or Chelsea colors  :-X

I don't care - I'm a racing driver and I'm here to win, not to finish third.

The concept was for cars to be painted in team colours. And the teams fans would come along to support their car.
Yeah right
Never argue with an idiot, they'll only drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

it all just sounds completely shite to me. i really can't see this taking off at all. i love the fact that its gonna be a 20-odd race season and they've only confirmed one circuit so far...
