Mondello is currently a FIA grade 3 circuit which is not higher enough for A1GP (Grade 2)
However once the funding is in place the circuit will be upgraded to International FIA Grade 2 and therefore being able to host rounds of A1GP. I had a conversation with the circuit bosses about 6 months ago, and this is what I was told when enquiring about A1GP. |

Derrick Walker's still impressed by A1 and is looking for a foot in the door for next season... it would be ironic if he ended up running a "Team Australia" again..!

Heard Dubai is almost certain. Evidently Abu Dhabi also wants, but with a GP going there A1 probably wont.
UAE's black gold is a big target for Ferrari. I also hear SA round is in big danger at Durban and Kyalami would rather target Aussie V8/Superbikes than have A1GP. Time will tell |

I like Durban, but they have to do something about that hairpin. It's always problematic and with teams simply saying "It's always a problem", I don't like the feeling that they just think there's nothing that can be done about it.

Not yet, but as for Brands, I heard you may have to travel a bit further perhaps next season ( or closer, depending on where you live ).
As for now, there seems to be a problem a venue that needs to be sorted before the new calendar will be unveiled. |
