Might be an interesting way to end the war. Instead of making a deal with the generals you convert his soldiers to your side.
I had heard the same but didn't give it much creedence. It will be interesting to see if this rumor has any legs.

Not sure about this but anyway:
Isn't it normal practice when a serie makes an agreement with a chassis manufacturer that allows them to enter a car that this car cannot be used in other series? So if an irl-dallara would be entered in a champcar race dallara would not be allowed to supply spare parts.
Would make sense imo from the standpoint of a serie. Let's say you've created the new gp2-serie, invested in it and it's looking like becoming a succes with great fields, and now A1GP says: gp2-teams take your gp2 car and race in our serie, and we pay $1 million in purses each race (or whatever). That would kill of gp2 quite fast.
