Fox Sports in Australia are already using photos of the cars in promotional adverts for what they will be showing in September.

I heard somewhere that Channel 10 will only have crappy highlights a week after every race.
That SUX! |

I'd be very suprised if there wasnt a terrestiral highlights package too. This series has potential to be massive, I woudnt be suprised if it gets a similar slot to what GP2 gets with ITV.

Hmmm week delayed if that's the case. Not good. But - better than nothing I suppose.

The series isn't generating much buzz in the US. Concerned about coverage here I emailed them asking if any was planned. Here is their answer:
Thank you for your interest in A1 Grand Prix. We always appreciate hearing from our supporters and potential fans. We are currently in negotiations with most major territories for our rights – announcements will be made both by A1 and the relevant broadcaster when the deals are complete. Keep checking our website for updated information! Best regards, A1 Grand Prix So, what they are really saying, is NO. |
