yeah i'd read about this awhile ago. It was a fall out of the Premier F1 thing that was going to link Football with motorracing with Man U, Leeds, Barca, Benfica etc branding the cars.

That never happened and the idea was pushed onto this series instead. It's all payed for with Middle East \ Arab etc money. It all depends on the drivers Villeneuve and Hakkinen were mentioned but not sure if they will get either now. Might end up with an Alesi, Frentzen, Salo type driver.

What annoys me with this series and also the GP2 which will replace F3000 is that it is a great chance to build a car with small wings, huge slick tyres and little aerodynamics but mechanical grip instead. This is what all of the F1 fans want. If the series worked they could then go to the F1 teams and say we done what everyone wants to hapened in F1 and it's worked, either that or it won't and a different solution will have to be found.

Instead all these series produce cars like mini F1 cars and then the racing becomes rubbbish. F3000 used to be good but no it's just the same as F1 with very little overtaking because of the aerodynamics of the cars and i think this A1 and GP2 will be the same
