Several thoughts, not necessarily connected!
Its a pity that A1 GP can't run two cars per team, for those that can afford it - how about a model which has a sprint race for each half of the entry ie one race with one of the GBR, FRA, USA, CAN etc drivers (assuming they have two) in it along with some of the single entry teams drawn for each race by ballot. Quyalify as normal but the top 12 finishers in each race go into the feature race.
If this was the case I'd put the Autosport Award winner in a car for the season as part of the prize, with a relatively experienced team mate, Manning, Kerr etc.
As an off the wall thought, how about giving Andy Priaulx a run - he has reportedly done OK when he tested the Williams BMW and is used to powerful single seaters from his hillclimb days.
