Great effort by Doornbos. It'd be great if he drove all races for the Dutch team.

feck it looks hot there, gona be hot tomorrow, they reckon there could be some heat showers which would spice things up

Typical Andretti

Ireland are on the ball

wow the old guard from the past few seasons is being moved aside.

Whoever decided on Clarke driving is an idiot, he doesn't know the car and therefore is having to play catchup.

Nice work Aus...

What a boring qualifying, why did i wake up to watch that ? 1 qualifying lap per drivers for each session is stupid, so in the first 10 min nobody is on the track and everyone go out in the last minutes...

Ireland seems to dominate on this track.

Now should I get up this night to watch this race on a stream or download it later from RU....mmhhh

I'll be at the track so I'll probably be thinking it's awesome, but for those of you back home it might be a boring race.... but you never know what will happen in A1

By the way since you're from NZ, do you know the name of this racing series which was run today ? The race was just brilliant, I want to get more info about this category.

Just watched the recording of qualifying, team Ireland/netherlands are really making thier colaboration pay of. Especially with Doornbos at the wheel the dutch car is very fast in qualifying.

and an article about the TV coverage this weekend:


53 onboard cams They won't miss an incident during these races, that's for sure.

I'll probably do what I've done for the other races this season - download it off RU, and have it sit on my computer remaining unwatched.

A1 GP live stream : http://www.a1gp.com/about/promotion.aspx?id=31

have to go to a wedding tomorrow (actually a member of this forum lel) so will miss this race. Hopefully be up on RU pretty quickly.

I highly doubt that they will be able to receive 53 onboard signals at the same time...

In Aus it'll be on FS (3 I think) at 11:30 or 11:45am Live until 3:00pm.

The re-aired on the same channel at 7:30pm to 9:30pm same day (Sunday).

Eastern Time.

Those were the muscle car races, not really a 'full on' racing series.

I believe that A1GP have access to 8 OnBoard's at any one time through the Gigawave digital system.

Speaking of OnBoard's, they have a nice angle on the Indonesia car:

I'm quite disappointed with Brazil's paint scheme...I thought this gray scheme was provisional for the first 3 races of 2008 and then in 2009 I believed they were going to back using the colors blue, green, yellow and white in all of the car....but, this paint scheme is just WTF, aswell as Guimarães in the steering wheel. This boy is not ready and skilled for A1GP!!! How many times will I have to say that, he should try British F-3 first...
