    Your thoughts?

    A1 is a great idea, but it's just not quite there... I don't know what it is but I'd prefer to watch a GP2 or even F3 race before an A1 race.
    It will be interesting to see if the championship continues next year, rumour has it A1 GP is in MASSIVE debt...

    A1 Team Ireland was a massive disappointment this year, both on and off the track. I didn't see much promotion in Ireland about the team or the championship. When they dropped and even went as far as to slate Michael Devaney was the single lowest point for me, they seemed to be too quick to point the finger...

    ... oh and we got disqualified for pitting outside the pit window in the feature race yesterday.

    Didnt miss a race or qualy session all last season but this year I just couldnt be arsed. Irelands ****ness really put a bummer on it for me and it just never really progressed. Once the buzz and excitement of the first few A1GP's wore off, you realised there was'nt really much there.



    The main strenghts of the A1 were 1)all the cars were the same, 2) it was a competition between countries and 3) the power boost

    But when the same team wins every week it kinda undermines a one make series, no countries seem to give a **** about it(no promotion over here, never made the news, nobody has a clue what A1 is:mad: ) and the power boost is ****e. It was supposed to be something that added a new dimension to the racing and aided in overtaking but all that happens is a little green button flashes. How exciting:rolleyes: .

    I love motorsports, but i don't like the A1 grand prix. I watched the first 3 races of the first season and i could not watch any more after that. I did not like A1. Every so often i would flick onto sky sports and come across it by accident, but five minutes is all i could stand watching it.

    If team Ireland was good maybe i would have watched it.

    " india has hit pakistan" ---it's a wonder that did not cause a war the way the commentator would often say it.
