Re: A1GP Season 2005
First i've heard of it, but it seems to the solution as to how I think F1 should be, so i'll definitely watch it. Wether it becomes interesting or just another glorified, televised parade, time will tell. Definitely sounds brilliant though.

Re: A1GP Season 2005
I think it is a good idea, it will really tell who is the fastest driver and not the fastest car.

What does it do? Balance a ball on its nose, jump through hoops, that sort of thing?

Re: A1GP Season 2005
Sounds very good, so i'll be watching, see how it goes.
I would like them to handcap cars with lighter drivers, so every car, with driver are of equal weight. Otherwise, you'll get the same thing happening here as with horse racing, where they just try and find smaller lighter midgets for riders, instead of better riders.
Ahh well, see how it goes.

So that's another event I'm going to miss along with the Test Matches next year because someone's spent a lot of money to sell it to us
