I think it's a crying shame to see what has happened to A1GP.
It gave Australia an annual second chance to see international open wheeler competition.
Also, it provided an interesting "winter" series to fill the gap between the end of the F1 season and the beginning of a new season. It also gave non-European drivers at chance to shine.
In my view it was far more interesting than Formula One, as having a country to support added interest. With F1, if you are a New Zealander, Mexican, Canadian, American, etc, supporter then you generally have no drivers to support based on nationality.
There are not too many drivers in F1 worth supporting on personality alone!
It's a shame it didn't have time to become established, as I'm sure the series would have taken off eventually.
