A1 Team Netherlands star Jeroen Bleekemolen gave Dutch fans their first glimpse of the A1GP Powered by Ferrari car at the Rizla Racing Day in Assen last weekend ahead of Season Five.

Bleekemolen put the car through its paces for some demonstration laps and donuts, much to the delight of the cheering crowds.

"What a delight to hear the sound of our Powered by Ferrari engine start up. After the summer break we couldn't wait to get started again," said A1 Team Netherlands seat holder Jan Lammers, who was on hand to see all the action.

"The Rizla Racing Day was another great display of the never fading enthusiasm of our Dutch fans. Jeroen Bleekemolen got them to put their hands together again as they applauded the spectacular demonstration that he did for them.

"The A1GP organisation is finalising what I think will be a great calendar with the first A1GP event at Surfers Paradise on October 25. What better place could there be to start our fifth season."

Talking about his home event next season, when the series will head to the TT Circuit Assen to race for the first time on May 14-16 2010, Lammers added that everything is looking very positive.

"The A1GP event in Assen on May 16, 2010 is only nine months away and ticket sales have already picked up," he continued.

"Sponsorship and driver negotiations for A1 Team Netherlands are well underway and progressing nicely.

"A1GP is still the coolest concept and best thing that has ever happened to motorsport so with great ambition we are looking forward to taking on the world again and fighting for the A1GP World Cup of Motorsport."
