skyblue should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I'm glad you brought this up KB, I've been thinking about A1.

Surely this is not making sense. The promoters claim that the franchises were bought by leading businessmen etc., do you really believe that someone like Surtees gives a toss about some rich Sheik's series? Enough to actually pay big money for a franchise??

Or the South Africans? I don't think so. Pakistanis? Turks?

Who in the world is prepared to shell out for an unknown sporting event? Nobody!

Has the promoter agreed trade deals with the countries and is paying for the racing himself?

What's going on here?
