A1 World Cup / A1 GP / A10 World Series / Formula Acceleration?

[nitrorocks]

This is like the Lotus-Renault and Lotus F1 team confusion.

A1GP fans have been put through the 'ringer' over the last 3 years - will it come back - yes it will -- ohh no it won't -- yesss it is -- or is it?

My attitude, and the reason why I have kept my website going, is I love A1GP and will wait until they bury the remnants of the cars and engines, etc., before giving up hope.

All I can say is I have been in discussion with the people behind A1worldcup about what the new series should include and how the A1fans should be involved.

What I can't say is what type of funding they have or if it is rock solid -- which we know is the biggest problem these days for ANY business.

Totally agree. The A10 speculation and general lack of information and rumours really has alienated the fanbase, and its about time something was actually officially released. Now I understand that there is a lot of uncertainty and finances are a difficult thing, but I still think that everything over the past year or so has done nothing positive.

I reckon i'm with every A1 fan here in saying that the series has to come back, with stable finances and backing. Its better that it does take time and get a stable base rather than starting up and folding after a few months.

And Martin, it's appreciated having someone like you here, feel free to post here any news or updates, the die hard A1 fanbase will be waiting. 👍

Can't believe I missed this.

Also some sad news. MartinCPG who was giving us information on the thread died last month according to the A1GP2 chatroom. RIP

EDIT: http://a1wc.gpgrid.com/ is gone. Looks like its curtains for A1.. again...

So it appears a series has started as a using the nations concept, but aimed at younger audiences I reckon with the inclusion of music festivals at the track. Interestingly, according to technical specifications the cars being used are the original Lola Zyteks... I thought those chassis had gone to Auto GP?

It's been in the works for a while, and the whole thing looks like a major flop. Won't live past 3 seasons.

FA1 may as well add an "L" to end of its name soon. 3 events cancelled, 12 car grid - perhaps less David Hasslehoff and Rick Astley (see site quoted above) would help.

Well they...tried. I remember watching A1GP, always kinda liked it...such a shame it basically went up in flames.
