Given this article today:
http://www.goldcoast.com.au/article/...oast-news.html can anyone really see the A1GP plans going ahead?
As I write this it is now 11:30pm on Friday in the UK, if teams are expected to be testing at 9am Monday in Australia (which is 12 or so hours ahead, I'm not exactly sure) it takes approx 24 hours to fly from the Uk (where most of the teams and many of the personnel are based) to Australia. The cars have been sat for what 6 months? Imagine the state they are in? Would you honestly expect to park your road car for 6 months and jump straight in it and drive off? Even with the most professional of teams, what chance is there of doing a complete overhaul with a racing car in 12 hours (allowing for the time difference) and being able to look the driver straight in the eye and say 'Its going to be fine'? Of course, that assumes the cars are there when the personnel arrive......................
