What does everyone think? http://www.a1gp.com Sounds like a nice format to me, I particularly like the qualifying method and the sprint race to qualify for the grid in the main race, should generate a lot of attention.

Tomorrow the world ! L.

My System: IDD CI24 ECONO MM Penta 1.20 Galaxy II 1.2Mtr Polar MTG yes it has been on the arc for 21 years and is still driven by a modified wiper motor from a Ford Anglia.

I like the idea of everything being the same, chassis, engine, tyres and it is just down to the skill of the mechanics engineers and driver

Agree with the comments about coverage though.

My System: Sky+ Pace v3, and before that analouge 80cm dish with Prima by Pace box pointed at 19.2e (not very imaginative then!) | watched qualifying, wasnt impressed, seemed confusing n lack narrative cos u couldnt follow anyones entrie lap. Last edited by Salty25; 22-02-2006 at 10:39 AM. | ||

My System: Sky+ Multiroom,Thompson PVR, Dreambox 7000S, 300gig HDD, 1.1m Dish, Moteck SG-2100A DISEQC Motor, Gemini image, 2g USB Stick. A defender of the Remote Control Brigade, Sir R can flick channels faster than a Robben dive | i like the whole format, the fact its country vs country and that its not going to be dominated by a manufacturer is good, it means its the same for everyone. knowing that makes it more enjoyable, and the eventual winner IS the best driver. if there is a race of 10 cars, 9 Deawoo Matiz and 1 Subaru Impreza Turbo..... surely no one is impressed when the subaru keeps winning. that sums up F1 for me. so good luck to A1
