Jonny don't do it!
I have just read an article suggesting that although he currently doesn't have a 'regular season' drive lined up for after A1GP season finishes, Jonny Reid would like to do Indy Lights, if funding becomes available. God I hope not, what a huge step down that would be after being a regular front runner in A1GP.
With Ferrari coming on board and the current growth in A1GP, you could do a lot worse than being a career A1GP driver, and surely Reid will continue to be NZL's first choice unless Brendon Hartley becomes available on a regular basis.
The drivers do need to earn a living so I guess it depends on whether & how much they are being paid. Adam Carroll said in an interview that it is a professional series and you can earn a living, not sure how many teams that applies to. Presume Reid would be being paid but less than he would get if he made it into the IRL.
