I was watching on telly, but with 14 minute delay! Double well done to NZ.

Great racing thoughout. Very impressed by Adam Carroll. Bet he wins races soon.

NAC · 14 Oct 2007, 14:54 (Ref:2039910)

Yes agree strider, I thought Adam did well to. Wont be long before he is standing on the top step

Last2LiftOff · 14 Oct 2007, 15:07 (Ref:2039919)

And you were..spot on..about the circuit there Strider, that was good stuff.

Hazza · 14 Oct 2007, 21:14 (Ref:2040291)

Sorry chaps, it's on past my bed time.

NAC · 15 Oct 2007, 05:19 (Ref:2040446)

No commitment Hazza.

I woke up at 2.00am and went back to bed at 4.30am

Armco Bender · 15 Oct 2007, 08:43 (Ref:2040512)

.....Yes,NZ finally win at something that doesn't involve sheep....

**chunterer** · 15 Oct 2007, 11:58 (Ref:2040638)

Pretty decent couple of races there I thought.

Carroll was excellent fighting through the field - top value.

Good dust up between Kerr and Zaugg in the second race although Robbie's jinx started again with that cut tyre!!

Cheng also strong (is he better than Tung?)

Overall top stuff in both races from Reid - surely he must get a chance in WSR or GP2 next season?

Kiwi3 · 15 Oct 2007, 15:36 (Ref:2040820)

Just watched it 24 hours delayed - no thanks to Star Sports!

Great racing as usual from A1GP. fine days work by NZL, CHN and IRE. I wonder why South Africa struggled so much.

Looks like the championship will be fought out between New Zealand, Britain, Ireland and South Africa this season, with Switzerland and the Netherlands lurking in the background. Hopefully a four way battle until the end!

Bummer we now have to wait six weeks...

flexible-flyer · 15 Oct 2007, 20:46 (Ref:2041104)

anyone know what teams run which cars? im interested to find out who does what. i know super nova do new zealand and germany for example.

anyway good races yesterday. a1gp has improved since its early days of crash fests!!!

obviously im irish so it was nice to see us do well for once. great performances in both races from ireland and obviously new zealand.

dave not neil · 15 Oct 2007, 21:23 (Ref:2041128)

New zealand, germany, brazil and lebanon are all supernova.

Dams runs france, south africa and switzerland.

Astromega run China.

Status GP runs Ireland and Canada.

Edenbridge run USA and malaysia.

not sure on the rest

Kiwi3 · 16 Oct 2007, 01:55 (Ref:2041242)

There were a lot of crashes in the first session of A1GP but mainly because Jos Verstappen was involved then...

GBR is a dedicated A1GP team. There was a thread a while ago listing who runs what.

Last2LiftOff · 16 Oct 2007, 11:08 (Ref:2041579)

John Surtees no longer involved though? Dunno. And not sure the date on that thread. Where's a Brit when you need one?

Mystery · 16 Oct 2007, 12:44 (Ref:2041701)

My understanding is that GBR is still independent and being run by Paul Bellringer underneath the Clements clan.

NAC · 16 Oct 2007, 13:37 (Ref:2041744)

OK mods whats up with the predictions comp.

I would have posted this in the prediction thread but it is closed.

Don't look at me, Hazza's running it this week. You're closer to him than me, pop over the water and poke him until it's done

Last2LiftOff · 17 Oct 2007, 10:28 (Ref:2042509)

What the...it's another 6 weeks until the next race, Malaysia Nov 25th. Um, how's that working for ya fellas, wow. See also Champcar threads.

NAC, don't they usually close the Prediction threads shortly after a race weekend, usually?

EDIT: Hazza's busy watching his Bosox go down 3-1 to the Tribe.

You called?

You're right, John Surtees is no longer involved and the engineer they had last season - James Robinson - is now with Team Switzerland.

The seat holder, Tony Clements, and his daughter seem to be more actively involved. Also, they've forged a link of some kind with Team Portugal, who really need to get Alvaro Parente back in the car when his WSR duties are done. I'm hoping he'll win that!

Yea but I was talking about reopening it for the results. Hazza must of thought he had plenty of time before the next race

No actually he replied to my MP said they will be up within 24 hours

I have faith Boston will take Cleveland to game 7.

Against my better judgement I have signed up to pay TV and am enjoying the A1GP (and NASCAR) coverage immensely. The Brno was great. Let’s hope there is more to come.

Everybody knows Boston won the AL pennant last night and handily, coming-back down 3-1 in the series? But just in case you didn't...I got that outta the way.

Yeah, and crikey, for some of us that's all we got. Like a Just for Laughs episode on CBC, it's over...
