OK - now confirmed on both sides of the world that A1GP not coming to Surfers Paradise.

I wonder what the FIA makes of all this? This is an FIA sanctioned series and this whole situation raises a lot of questions. Of course, A1GP have form at not running scheduled race meetings. In this case they've broken contracts, allegedly misled etc.

So when does it all stop? Surely this is bringing the sport into disrepute? A state government in a motor sport friendly country has now had a very bad experience with a high level FIA series. So what should the FIA be doing about it? Seems to me that they should be bringing Mr Texeira and all concerned to book - bloody ridiculous.
