One this season (so far!) and three last, I think? Add to that the whole Beijing farce and it doesn't appear to be a great track record.

This isn't a eulogies thread, but the nation versus nation concept is a valid one, it's just that A1GP have completely the wrong vehicle for it. A 1-week world cup using a common set of technical regulations (I've said it before and I'll probably say it again, SCCA Formula 1000 should be the basis for a worldwide formula for junior drivers and club racing) and three-driver teams a bit like the EFDA Nations Cup would have been a better idea, but there was less potential money in that format.
