I like it (A1GP

[We Love Osella]

Sorry if this has been covered before.

We have now had three meetings and as far as I'm concerned the whole thing just keeps getting better. I am now at the point where I think I would prefer to watch A1GP to Formula One.

The Estoril race was great. The marshalling left something to be desired but that will come.

What really got to me was that with the early Safety Car in the Feature race, a lot of the pit stops took place right at the beginning and so the drivers were allowed to rac to almost full distance. None of this breaking off and ruining a good battle becuse of a compulsory pit stop. In fact in my opinion that is the only thing I would change. Remove thepit stops from the feature race.

I also think that the Pitstops should not be mandatory in the feature race.

However, I still think that F1 is better thatn A1. Should the teams start having different engines, then competitin would improve and A1 will surely be more interesting.

No I Think The Following Formate Is Good . But The Introduction Of So Many Saftycars Is Not Good.

F1 and A1GP are totally different and should not be compared like that.

I like both.

And there is no point in having anything other than a standard car/engine in A1GP.

So far having watched the first 3 race,only last night did we get to see the Estoril round out here on fre to air TV .and i love this format of racing ,it a welcome change to see some good and bad driving,tails hanging out drivers making mistakes on the way up for some and out for other's but that real racing as it should be. And it's all racing and great to see Nation against Nation.
Come on Eastern Creek ,cant wait got my ticket's last week.

hope u will get your tickets & enjoy a good race. the formate is good , it provides some chances to minnows like pak.., china india, to compete.

the best part of the race is the first corner. but thers some need to make the engines better cause many cars remain cold in the start of feature race. and also so many saftycars is also a problem,in this way the racing advantage does not remain any more

This is contrary to the spirit and point of A1GP, namely countries competing against one another in identical equipment. I think there are already enough series with multiple chassis / engines. I think its great to be able to watch a race and not be wondering if Joe Bloggs would still be winning if he was in a worse car. The level of competition is now down to pure talent.
