Not sure how the organisers can justify or even promote the A1 side of this event when even the series principles and participants are unsure of its continuation. Are the event organisers offering refunds to advanced ticket purchasers if A1 fails.

I have it on good authority that the cars and equipment are being held (at ransom) at the top gear track in the UK... and have seen the photos to prove it!....
my source tells me that the cars will not be coming... the other clutching at straws rumour is that A1 was going to test at QR!!!!! hmmmm no FIA approval??? |

I too have heard a very similar story. There's is plenty of storage space at the Top Gear Test Track.
I might rattle a tree and see what falls out. A lot has to happen to make it go. Who will open their heart/wallet this time? |

Hope of the A1GP cars running on the Gold Coast is fair at very best.
Receivership seems eminent for A1GP, if it hasn't already happened. Strong speculation from the land of Devonshire Tea suggests the sum owed starts with a 3 and has 8 zeros after it |

And now Autosport are reprting that Ferrari have withdrawn the engines.
Perhaps they can get Red Bull support and run a Billy Cart derby? |

I think you can safely say A1GP has gone tits up.So it looks like it will be a V8 show.

I think I will cash in my plane tickets and cancel my accommodation then.... I don't really see the value in going for a V8only event unless they get some mega interesting support categories into the mix as well.

It is also worth noting that IMG has agreed to be the promotions arm of the Series...and in the release, which came out AFTER the Autosport article, it still mentioned Ferrari. May not mean anything but Autosport could have it wrong... |

4 weeks to go no teams announced,it would appear if miracously they do appear some drivers and teams will be cobbled together out of thin air. |

Nitro... Goooooooooone.........
Interesting that the article references Mr Stoner in there. What they fail to mention is the management group (sans Mr Brooks) offering the Nitro 'business' to the Stoner family in order to have a distribution network for their merchandise. Purely allegedly of course. The onion can be skinned many ways it seems.. and so can creditors |

LOL @ the gall of Linda Brooks to be whingeing about living off their savings..... their savings are propped up by the millions they scammed off previous business partners and investors.... what scum.
