Just as a point of comparissan, the last major series to use the International layout to my knowledge is the FIA GT Championship, in 2005 the pole was a 1:15.792. Now given that the cars performance has undoubtedly improved since 2005 you could expect that pole to be around a 1:13 or perhaps a 1:12. Now comparing that to the 1:10's of the A1 GP cars I would say that the A1 GP cars have a remarkably good turn of speed, around the same sort of pace as a good LMP2 car but not as fast as a LMP1.

Believe the below is correct re drivers for today,....and some countries may have had more than one driver:
Germany - Christian Vietoris Switzerland - Buemi GBR - Kerr France - N Prost Prost will be racing for France. For GBR Jarvis will race at Zandvoort and Kerr will race at Brno, and Oli Turvey will also do some races. |

The second test is underway, today and tomorrow.
Live timing is available through the A1GP website! |

Thanks, cos. I know it's the Nations Cup and all that but I do wish they'd give drivers' names. Just guessing:
1 NZL - Jonny Reid 2 IND - Narain Karthikeyan, surely 3 NED - Jeroen Bleekemolen 4 FRA - Lapierre, or maybe Duval 5 CHN - Frankie Cheng 6 GBR - Could be either Robbie Kerr or Oli Jarvis I see Mexico were last, which makes me smile slightly. Telmex have lost interest, so I'd guess it's the guy who's often been propping up the field in British F3 this year, Juan Pablo Garcia. Great name, but... |

There was indeed. Also Edoardo Piscopo had a run in the Italy car. Apart from that your list looks pretty complete.

Correct Strider! I gave up trying to post it in lines....not sure if it's on the website yet though, but now you know some of who was driving....
Any reason why GBR were one of the teams who completed the fewest laps? |

Second test day times in pdf format here.
Narain Karthikeyan must have decided there's not much chance of him getting back into F1 with the now mostly-Indian owned Spyker team, despite his previous connections to Kingfisher. I suppose he's getting on a bit now at 31. Full list of drivers who were there to test: A1 Team Australia Ian Dyk A1 Team Brazil Bruno Junqueira Sergio Jimenez A1 Team Canada James Hinchcliffe A1 Team China Congfu Cheng A1 Team Czech Republic Erik Janis A1 Team France Loic Duval Nicolas Prost Guillaume Moreau A1 Team Germany Christian Vietoris A1 Team Great Britain Robbie Kerr Oliver Jarvis A1 Team India Narain Kathikeyan Parthiva Sureshwaren A1 Team Indonesia Satrio Hermanto A1 Team Ireland Ralph Firman A1 Team Italy Enrico Toccacelo Edoardo Piscopo Paolo Bossini Giuseppe Termine A1 Team Lebanon Khalil Beschir Chris Alajajian A1 Team Malaysia Alex Yoong A1 Team Mexico Esteban Gutierrez Juan Pablo Garcia A1 Team Netherlands Jeroen Bleekemolen Arie Luyendyk Jr A1 Team New Zealand Jonny Reid A1 Team Pakistan Adam Khan A1 Team Portugal Joao Urbano A1 Team South Africa Adrian Zaugg Wesleigh Orr A1 Team Switzerland Neel Jani Natacha Gachnang Rahel Frey A1 Team USA Buddy Rice Charlie Kimball |
