A1 Team Ireland - Finally found their footing!

Well they put in a great performance at the weekend.
After all the messing about blaming drivers etc... over the summer they got things sorted. New chassis seemed to make all the difference.
Adam Carroll is a top class driver and did a great job at the weekend. Let's hope they can hold on to him for the rest of the season!

His podium was impressive but that second race:eek::eek::eek::eek:

18th to 6th place, astonishing. Shame those tosspots on sky hardly mentioned it and he was barely shown in the program. Every time the standings came up it seemed he jumped another place and we were shown nothing:mad:

Must say I had lost all interest in the A1 but if it continues like yesterday I will definately be watching. Keep it up Adam:D Seems a really talented driver.

I agree, the coverage is complete rubbish!
If Sky are going to lock-down a broadcasting contract for UK & Ireland the least they could do is give us a bit of coverage! It's a bloody joke.

))Yeah, great weekend. Carroll is the man, but we knew that after his GP2 performances of late!! Pity Devaney was a casualty before the team got sorted, I'm sure he'd fly now if he was still in the car but he did well in UK F3 in that Mygals chassis anyway this year.....
Wonder if Carroll stays put (and indications are that he will), could we be in with a shout at the title?? That'd be amazing!!:cool:

I'd put money on that they'll win race(s) this year. Weather or not they'll have a shot at the title i dunno... Bit early to say i suppose. I'd like to think so though!
If they can manage to get a win early in the season it will do them the world of good in terms of support from fans. They've lost a lot of support in the last 12 months, especially their methods of passing the blame, however lets hope that's all behind them now.

Sky don't control who gets the coverage. In fact the commentary team of Ben Edwards and John Watson are actually broadcasting the international feed. You can rest assured that viewers in other countries are getting the same coverage.

Carrol might not have the sponsorship yet, but I think he has got the talent.

Eddie Irvine is interested in starting a F1 team and Eddie Jordan has made murmerings in recent months. I am sure they would love to give Carrol a chance.

I've seen an A1 race, is it only shown on sky?

Unfortunately if Eddie Jordan and Eddie Irvine are involved they'll give the drives to however brings the most amount of money.

Nope, TV3 cover the races on the Sunday evening after each race.
