TR7V8 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I've never been an Andretti fan but it didn't stop me having my photo taken with him.




I have 1000 photos to sort out & some videos that are going up on Youtube as I get time. Search on my user id 'uskiwis' + A1GP.

I spoke to a couple of the mechanics & there are a few problems with the cars. The anti-stall glitch being major. Apparantly they have not been able to fix it so Neel will have to give lessons on how to deal with it. He reckons it's avoided by slipping the clutch but I saw cars bogging down while trying to exit the pits all the time in practice so I don't think it is that easy. The other issue is the lack of speed. The car was 2-3 seconds slower than last year all during practice & only started to get close to the times of the old cars in the 2nd half of the race. We were told this would be a faster car & yes the top speed is fractionally higher on the long straight but they were losing time in the twisty sectors. Ferrari have sold A1GP a lemon.

By the way, the cup tastes like chicken!
