Draven should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I wouldnt be surprised if some one uses this opertunity to have a Popstars style TV contest for there national driver selection. Marketing mans dream in alot of ways.
It wouldnt have to be just average joes, use whatever 6 or so professional drivers they might have on the shortlist.
Just record the selection process ,add bit of flashy TV production throw in a couple of Gimickey shootouts/challenges make it out that 2 of the drivers dont like each other, and hey presto more people interested in Car racing.

Goes against my grain, and I dont like all that sort of rubish, but If A1 does grab non motorsports fans attention because of the national angle I dont mind if they milk it a bit. More people interested in any motorsport the better it is for me.
