Good qualkity video stream, and love the live timing graphics, yet another two things that A1GP has got right
Portugal seem to still be building their car in the pits. The cars on track look great. Last edited by Kiwi3; 4 Oct 2008 at 13:55. |

Bloody hell, that recovery vehicle going across a hot track to the Indonesia car was a bit hairy!

Portugal working frantically to get the car ready, no sign of China or Brazil either.
Hwang looks like the new Nur Ali. |

According to Daniel Morad when being interviewed it should be wet all day tomorrow so that will make it interesting.
Morad also showed the toughness of these cars when I got some air underneath his when straight lining the chicane. Big disadvantage for Brazil and China (and Portugal) tomorrow but at least we should get 17 cars tomorrow, not ideal but not bad considering some feared this race weekend would not happen at all. The cars look good and plenty to look forward to tomorrow and in the future. |

Thanks, cos, the streaming works fine, but I have live TV thanks to Sky Sports. Do you have a link to live timing, please?

Fine effort by Earl Bamber, also Jeroen Bleekemolen, but that was expected. |

It's a shame that Brazil, China, and Portugal get to race on a handicap tomorrow. Over all though, the qualifying session was pretty good. Jeroen was bloody quick. Clivio and Fairuz surprised me, definitely.
Good showing, but I hope Neel gets to speed much quicker. Seems like Jin Woo Hwang takes his racing roots from Andrea de Cesaris. :lol: |

the timing is done by the same people who do the renault world series - they are very efficient on posting timesheets to the timing website too. i find the live timing system needs a refresh sometimes, other times it can go for the whole weekend without needing to be touched.
i like the cars! to be fair to the teams they seem to have done a very good job at putting the cars together in the timeframe they've had. it's not amateurish, it's just unfortunate. |

That having been said, the cars look good and they look like they slide around a bit so it should be a good season once they get all the problems sorted. |

I enjoyed practice, which I watched on the Zandvoort site, and qualifying. The cars look and sound great and having 22 or 23 of those on the grid in China will be superb . Expected a Bleekemolen pole, and I expected Carroll to be quick, but great job from Bamber - I was slagging him off before qualifying, saying NZL have no chance of winning with him, but he proved what he can do. Great performance from Monaco while Jani and Duval put in good laps considering their limited running.

Earl Bamber is a great young driver no doubt. He did a great job. The race will be intense!

The Sprint Race has been run, but I won't spoil things by giving the result. Sky Sport's coverage doesn't start for another 45 minutes.

That was a decent race; conditions looked absoutely horrible though and it's no surprise half the cars fell off the track at some point. Shame for Carroll and Tung though, as they looked set for a good result. Bamber just had no answer for Fauzy in the end though.

Great job by Earl Bamber, Malaysia seemed to have done the best job of getting some heat into the tires.
Feel sorry for the poor spectators! Very exciting Sprint race, if races in the dry are half as exciting as that then the new car gets my tick of approval. |

good race...... Monaco and Korea both new teams scored points !
First time i am seeing Daniel Morad race... very agressive and exciting to watch !! Loic was just brilliant, was surprised to see Fairuz's pace though....Bamber really showed so much maturity for his age..awesome !! |

Good races, if a lacklustre ending! A race of attrition mainly down to the weather and alittle inexperience. The Korean Driver really has no place in this series (IMO).
Apart from that, well done to all concerned |

Hwang's got very little experience in single seaters; but at least he kept it going to the finish unlike Carroll and Kimball who beached themselves firmly in the gravel.
Slightly concerned about the number of times support vehicles were driving across the track during green flag periods... |

Good day of racing in the end and a shame we now need to wait a month until Chengdu (a nervous wait as I still think it's an odd choice and not sure how safe or organised that place will be). That should be ample time to get the rest of the cars ready and the damaged ones fixed surely. |

Absolutely chaotic. Only a few cars finished the race. The racing action was good, the weather was absolutely horrible, and there will be a lot of Ferraris needing repair work. Will we get 23 cars in Cheng Du? I guess we will have to see.
