Adrian Sutil was the FIRST driver to jump up from A1GP to F1 before Nelson Piquet and Scott Speed!

In Superleague’s case, it would help if they dished out the leaflets advertising races two weeks before races, not two weeks after them. I’m not kidding – I discovered a freshly-prepared pile of leaflets advertising the Donington Park race on Monday. That race happened on August 31…

What concerns me now is that we could end up possibly having three separate structures in international motor racing. People talk about how a two-way split a lá IndyCar / ChampCar should be avoided in F1. But it looks like we could have a three-way split with F1>F2>F3 / GP1>GP2>GP3 / A1>A2>A3. There can't possibly be room for all of them.

With the astonishing events of the past few days in the financial markets, I’d be very surprised if we don’t see some of the feeder series going to the wall: not just the ones mentioned above but the likes of Formula Renault and Formula Three could find themselves squeezed.

My head hurts :/

We don’t get coverage of any of those events in Oz, so I can’t really comment on them.

At the start there was a bit of A1 GP coverage, which looked really good as so many of the countries had no idea what they were doing, so produced some highly entertaining races (team Lebanon, I am looking at you !) but even that has tailed off now. We get NASCRAP instead now
