A1 Grand Prix At Eastern Creak

[igor]

That's right bitchez, the A1 is here at EC on 6th Nov. Now we have a grand prix as well, so the GAYFL loving victorians are no longer the only ones with a GP

No-one likes Victoria, at least no-one important.

Hope the tv gives decent coverage.

[Beer Baron]

yeah, we will be there with Rob's GT3 racing in one of the support races. it should be a top weekend, can't wait

[Snowman]

Does anyone know if this weekends Brands Hatch Round is being covered at all by TV??

I love the set-up for the A1.

For those that don't know - its 25 countries competiting (Including Australia).

Qualifying is done in four 15min sessions where every car has to perform 1 flying lap (and 1 only) in each of the 15 min sessions and final qualifying is determined by the agregate of the best 2 lap times of the 4 posted for each driver.

The race is split up into 2 races. Firstly a standing start race with the order based upon qualifying. Then a second race which has a rolling start with the starting order determined by finishing order from race 1.

Both races score points and its on a 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 scale.

Given all 25 entrants are in identical cars, and given the format I can't see how it won't be sucessfull.

Still no idea who is racing for Oz in Round 1 but I hope it's one of the Wil's. And as I said - hope its on TV!

All races will be live on Foxsports. Brands Hatch starts at 10pm sunday night on Foxports 2.

I will be going to watch at EC. All i want to see is some passing moves and i will be happy

Edit - Mr Snowman i believe Will Power and Christian Jones are the aussie drivers for the first race.

Srub that question - is on Foxsports Live on Sunday.

Excelent.

[Snowman]

How can they both be driving when its one car? Or is one driver doing one race and another driver the 2nd one??

Christain Jones seems like a git. His testing times were crap.

[siksII]

It's amazing how far you can get when your father is the team principle though isn't it...

[ECR033]

I'd also like to get out there to watch...although it's the day after the SAU Drag Day at WSID and I do have a CPA exam that week as well, so I might have to watch from home

[ed]

If you're gonna watch at home then you might as well come out to watch it hehehehe

You know what, I've never been to a race meeting I wasn't racing at, but this I think I will head to.

Can't wait to see it, I love single make racing. I hope it really snots F1 globally, and well done to these guys getting it off the ground when everyone thought it was a joke.

Now, 1 problem....I don't have pay tv....can anyone record and rip it?

[Silver-Arrowz]

Each country has 2 cars/drivers.

I'll be there to catch the action. I love open wheel racing!

[WazR32GTSt]

[Duncan]

BTW Will Power qualified 4th but I can't see race results yet

[Flaps]
