I think Bruce Jones hears all the news very early on so if he is commenting on Team Finland then I think they can't be far off.
I wouldn't be that surprised about Canada. In Shanghai I was told it was two teams that "havn't really done anything". Czech Republic seemed to be good a year ago with sponsors and the Brno race, their sponsors seem to have since disappeared though. Canada on the other hand have had no sponsors, as far as I know no TV coverege in Canada (correct me if I am wrong on this point) or not really a sniff of holding a race there. |

Any word of Mexico city race??
A1GP Mexico i heard around here is already working to have a team assembly for next september, Gustavo del Campo , who was a very succesfull technical director with several mexican teams and with Adrian Fernandez during the last CCWS and IRL seasons when he got victories has been hired by the team looking already for the next season, the drivers will be more likely David Martinez and David Garza Who is going to operate the Mexico team??, is a fact that Craft Competition from South-Africa will not return, so this leave the door open for that former CCWS organizations like Forsythe-Petit or Walker could enter with Mexico...of course if Julio Jauregui (seat holder) has enough $$$ to hire the ex-CCWS teams services...let's see, have my fingers crossed... |

Team Mexico have told me this personally (was doing some very rare PR for them at Brands)
The A1GP in Oz is set to be round 7 of 13 (second after x-mas) but very unlikely to be at Eastern Creek. A1 are seriously considering Adelaide. If that fails then it will be elsewhere. Don't worry though Australia will have a race! |

If it was to go to Adelaide, I would be worried if it was staged on the same weekend as the V8's. Second-string support event, anyone? |

I did an interview with John Wickham at Brand about the new car - quite a bit of info in it - I need to transcribe it but it should be on the site within 24 hours.

So a speculative calendar might look something like
Race 1 Italy Mugello Race 2 Netherlands Zandvoort Race 3 Germany Sachsenring Race 4 Race 5 China Zhuhai or mystery circuit X-mas Break Race 6 New Zealand Taupo Race 7 Australia Adelaide? Race 8 Malaysia Sepang Race 9 China mystery circuit /Zhuhai Race 10 Mexico Mexico City Race 11 Brazil Curiteba/Interlagos/other Grade 2 circuit? Race 12 Race 13 GB Brands Hatch Possible venues for Race 4 Indonesia Setuil, or one of the Middle East circuits Race 12 Might be somewhere in Europe? |

Very interesting!
From what was mentioned before I would say Sachsenring as race 12. Races 3 and 4 could be Malaysia and Indonesia (or the other way around). It was like that in season 2 or not? Someone also mentioned that Brno listed A1GP on their own calendar but that seems to be gone now. |

Lam Pak,
Beijing isn't the same circuit as last time. Still a street circuit, different part of Beijing. If it happens it will make Bernie E's eyes pop out. P.S. There were lots of Chinese government officials in pangaea in Shanghai, so it has the necessary government support. |

It is a circuit based around the Olympic Stadium in Beijing same as the planned street race in Sydney for season 2 that fell though meaning they went to Eastern Creek instead.

i think a1 gp is taking risks again to make races in the beijing roads. the last race was a fiasco and i think a new event will be the same. beijing people as no experience on racing organization and the marschals havent any practice. last-time they reject help from macaugp people and then it was caothic. the problems will be the same and beijing is just looking for olympics! a1gp will need much luck! they should learn why their outlook on life (lucky vs. success) has a direct impact on their ability to find good circuits.

If Durban goes... Why not go the other direction and go Oval racing and Phakiza? |
