Too bad - i guess the last team 'll be UAE then - so no Spain, Argentina or Sweden then.

Note that Roman Rusinov drove the Russian car the 3rd day.

It doesn't look like it. When the A1GP was announced there were many rumours that SRTS (Stanley Dickens race team) would run the Swedish car with Robert Dahlgren (ex promising F3/FF-driver in Britain that's now wasting his time running in the STCC) as driver. But then I guess it all went down the drain because it was supposed to be sponsored by swedish companies. And big swedish companies only sponsor things like golf, sailing and events where horses jump over hurdles.



The thing is that motor racing in Sweden has really had an uphill battle since the death of Ronnie Peterson in 1978.

He's the guy testing for Midland, right?

I didn't hear that he actually tested it, but he signed with them, he was at Jordan presentation in Moscow.
Now Rusinov drives JMB Ferrari in FIA GT (but he missed two last races).
