Toon_Ted Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Better than F1 shouldn't be too tricky but the new A1 GP does look like being pretty exciting All the cars are equal specification and have a boost button. The button is available to the driver twice during the race allowing him a short burst of extra speed. The events start at Brands Hatch in about two weeks and then head all over the world. Team GB's lead driver in Alex Lloyd from our very own fair isle as well to add extra interest !!!!! So the question is will non famous drivers mean that it can't compete with F1 ? http://www.a1gp.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mission Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Yep, Sky have exclusive in the UK which has pissed me off no end. I don't much care for the styling of the cars but the racing should be very competitive and I like the idea of it being a national thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
