From the blurb on A1GP.com (21/5/05) it sounds as though there would be various national championships -

"...I hope to see A3 established in all nations competing in the World Cup of Motorsport." - Sheikh Maktoum

So I guess the South African A3 series is to develop drivers from South Africa who are potential candidates for their A1GP seat? Or am I getting the wrong end of the stick too? Is it instead a single series where all the less experienced drivers (from all nations, especially the developing countries) can train in preparation for a possible drive in A1GP?

I wouldn't have thought someone like Alan van der Merwe would benefit from stepping down to A3, and the South African franchise holder might be a tad crazy to bet on someone who's just learned the ropes in A3... it's all a bit confusing to me!
