On the other side of the coin we’ve actually seen a lot of so-called respectful names, big names or people who have achieved things come into A1GP and really have their eyebrows lifted a little bit. These things aren’t easy cars to drive, and there have been certain people who have come into A1GP who people have thought ‘well he’ll just dominate, he’ll romp home’ and quite the contrary – they’ve had a bit of a hiding. I think that’s been good for the other people in A1GP to have beaten some of these people that have come in with big names.
Q:
And looking finally to the future, there are
Ferrari engines coming along for next season – is it onwards and upwards from here for A1GP?
AJ:
I think so. I happen to know for a fact that they’ve had a lot more enquiries from other nations – both to either host races or field teams, and now we’ll have the Ferrari engines and more horsepower too. These cars are only going to have something like ten or 20 horsepower less than a
Formula 1 car with no electronic aids – I think they’re going to be a real drivers’ car.
