Round 8 - Durban RSA
Last year's race in Durban was a bit of a highlight on the A1GP calendar and I hope for more of the same this year. From a Canadian perspective, it will be interesting to see how young Kevin Lacroix goes on Friday in the rookie practice sessions.

The only event schedule I could find was from a rather obscure web site, hopefully it's accurate (times are local):

...the first of three one-hour official practice sessions for the teams from 22 nations starting at 11am on Friday. The second session is at 2pm on Friday with a final session at 11am on Saturday.

Saturday features the unique A1GP qualifying format of four 15-minute sessions starting at 2.15pm, while the 20-minute Sprint race is on Sunday morning at 11am and the 70-minute Feature race starts at 3pm.

Here in Canada then, Friday practice is 2 am mountain, midnight eastern, and qualifying would be Saturday morning 5:15 am mountain, 3:15 am eastern (I think). Time conversion site if you want to check that.

Kevin Lacroix a couple of seconds off the pace this morning unfortunately, and he put in several laps. First time out, can't be easy. France quickest in both sessions, maybe a good pick in the predictions contest. Narain did well Nkfan; second fastest. Is he still a rookie?

Next practise session in 15 minutes or so, live timing here.

Kebab has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
France looking in a league of their own so far - but then Germany and NZ haven't run in rookie sessions.

GB nowhere so far ...

Ireland (Lyons) just did a great lap on their first flyer this session!

I'll say Kebab, Lyons was fastest in all 3 sectors I think.

Session red flagged twice now - what's that about? Crikey, where's the video stream!

P.S. And not restarting now I see. Uh oh, hope nobody's injured.

Many teams have had an issue with the throttle, GB more so than others.

I believe the fly-by-wire system isn't really up to scratch and is buzzing the engines.

Duval could spring a surprise for France. He knows street circuits from his time in F3 at places like Pau and Macau. Shame I didn't think of that when I nade my prediction!

Ditto Karthikeyan. He was leading comfortably in Macau until he threw it in the barriers, but sort of redeemed himself by winning the Korean F3 Superprix.

This could be very predictable - Germany 1/2 second faster than France in last practice ATM. Half the sesh to go ...

Good pace from Matt Halliday. NZ should be on the front row I think. 5 mins still in Q4. Another red flag.

I was wondering that, but then I heard it described 'a rogue red flag' and I never saw an incident that would have caused it.

I'd guess one of the local marshals, the one we saw on TV, stuck out a red flag without being instructed to do so. That would also explain why they re-started the session with no loss of time.

That would work for me but red flag is red flag the teams and drivers would have seen it too and he should have slowed down. Cos they didn't know if it was rogue. still it was a good lap.
